Security Report
The Layerre MCP server requires authentication (OAuth 2.1 with PKCE for the hosted endpoint, or a Layerre API key for stdio) and applies sound HTTP hardening: origin allow-listing, per-IP rate limiting, body size limits, security headers, and strict Zod input schemas. The findings are minor: canva_url values are logged in full, the WWW-Authenticate error description is only partially sanitized, and the registry file was truncated so part of the tool surface was not reviewed. No data exfiltration, hardcoded credentials, or shell execution was found in the code provided. Supply chain analysis found 6 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (2 critical, 2 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
