Security Report

4.2

Use Caution4.2High Risk

This is a well-engineered PowerShell/SSH/WinRM MCP server with proper error handling and reasonable security defaults. However, the server's design intentionally executes arbitrary scripts and commands provided by the AI host without sandboxing or allow-list policies, which is a significant security concern that users must understand. The README acknowledges this risk, but the lack of built-in gating mechanisms and the broad access to local/remote execution elevate the risk profile. Permissions are appropriate for the server's stated purpose, and code quality is solid. Supply chain analysis found 4 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (2 critical, 2 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
