Security Report

4.2
Use Caution4.2High Risk

scan-mcp is a well-structured MCP server for scanner device management with appropriate security controls. Authentication is not required (local stdio/LAN-only HTTP transport), but this matches the server's intended use case. Code quality is good with proper input validation via Zod schemas, safe subprocess execution via execa with shell:false, and no evidence of credential exfiltration. Minor concerns include the unauthenticated HTTP transport (acknowledged by developers as LAN-only) and some error handling gaps, but these do not constitute critical vulnerabilities. Supply chain analysis found 5 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (1 critical, 0 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
