Security Report

4.2

Use Caution4.2High Risk

The MCP State Sidecar is a well-structured distributed state management server with appropriate authentication patterns and secure credential handling. No credentials are hardcoded, and the server uses environment variables for configuration. Permissions align with the server's purpose (network access for HTTP/Redis, file I/O for SQLite). Minor code quality issues around error handling in the Redis backend and incomplete implementation do not significantly impact security. Supply chain analysis found 6 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (1 critical, 3 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
