Security Report

4.2
Use Caution4.2High Risk

LINZA is a well-designed local-first MCP server with strong review-gated write controls and appropriate auth handling. The codebase shows good security practices overall, with review intents before any writes and no hardcoded credentials. However, there are moderate concerns around filesystem path handling, input validation in some workflows, and reliance on environment variables for critical configuration without documented validation. The server's permissions align well with its purpose as a knowledge management tool. Supply chain analysis found 8 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 3 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
