Security Report

4.5

Use Caution4.5High Risk

DBShield is a database guardrail MCP server that intercepts agent SQL, applies AST-based safety checks, and masks PII; its permissions (network access to databases, file/SQLite storage, a local dashboard and wire proxy, and env vars for config) match its stated purpose. Review of the visible code shows no exfiltration or obfuscation, but the dashboard and proxy listen on network ports (metrics bound to 0.0.0.0 by default) and the top monitor uses mock data, which warrant attention; the truncated files and the auth module could not be fully verified. Supply chain analysis found 5 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 3 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
