Security Report

7.0

Moderate7.0Low Risk

The server is a read-only Bitcoin mining data client that calls the vendor's API over HTTPS, and its permissions match that purpose. The main concerns are a hardcoded shared API key, per-call analytics tracking that the README does not disclose, and a stale dist/index.js build that differs from the reviewed source. None of these is severe, so the score remains in the good range. Supply chain analysis found 1 known vulnerability in dependencies (0 critical, 1 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
