Security Report

3.2
Use Caution3.2High Risk

The COBOL Bridge MCP server implements basic authentication and rate-limiting through a tiered system, but has several moderate security concerns that warrant attention. The code contains network calls to an external metering endpoint without proper error handling or timeout safeguards, environment variable access for API keys, and file I/O operations for usage tracking that could be exploited. Additionally, the authentication middleware has hardcoded file paths and lacks robust input validation on API keys. While the server's core functionality (COBOL parsing and analysis) is sound and permissions are appropriate for the use case, the operational security posture needs strengthening before production deployment. Supply chain analysis found 3 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 3 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
