Security Report

4.2

Use Caution4.2High Risk

ignition-mcp is a well-architected MCP server with solid security foundations: authentication is mandatory, write operations are gated behind explicit opt-in, and the bridge plane uses HMAC-SHA256 request signing. However, several code quality and vulnerability concerns reduce confidence. The bridge implementation has a time-skew vulnerability (±300s window), insufficient input validation in some handlers, and the path traversal protection, while present, relies on string operations rather than canonicalization. Additionally, error handling is inconsistent and SQL injection is possible in db_query when mutating is true. These issues are moderate in severity but should be addressed before production use. Supply chain analysis found 3 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 3 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
