Security Report

5.2

Moderate5.2Moderate Risk

ctxfile is a well-architected MCP server with strong privacy and security foundations. The codebase demonstrates thoughtful design around credential handling, data redaction, and permission scoping. A few low-severity code quality observations exist (broad exception handling, minor input validation gaps), but these do not materially impact security posture. Permissions are appropriate for the stated purpose of project context snapshotting and session management. Supply chain analysis found 9 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (2 critical, 1 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue (1 critical, 0 high severity).
