Security Report

5.2
Moderate5.2Moderate Risk

ContextSmith is a local code-indexing MCP server that runs on the developer's machine with no API keys and no cloud calls, and its permissions (local file reads, SQLite index, optional local embedding model download) match its stated purpose. The only notable items are a one-time network download of embedding models, a shell-free but filesystem-wide read scope bounded by the configured repository path, and minor code-quality issues such as broad exception handling; no exfiltration, backdoor, or shell injection was found in the provided code. Review was limited because README and rank.py were truncated and the dependency lock was not provided. Supply chain analysis found 5 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 5 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
