Security Report

4.2
Use Caution4.2High Risk

NeedRail is a well-structured MCP server for agent-native public goods coordination with generally sound security practices. The codebase implements reasonable authentication/authorization patterns (provenance-first, identity binding via ERC-8004, spending policies, anti-spam deposits), proper input sanitization, and avoids dangerous patterns like hardcoded secrets or arbitrary code execution. Permissions align with the server's purpose (file I/O for registry, network for x402 payments, env vars for configuration). Minor code quality concerns around broad exception handling and CORS permissiveness do not materially impact security. Supply chain analysis found 6 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 5 high severity).
