Security Report

5.2
Moderate5.2Moderate Risk

Silica is a local document and code retrieval MCP server whose README and pyproject describe a no-network, no-API-key design, and the reviewed code (convert.py) shows careful subprocess hardening such as PDEATHSIG, a LibreOffice quiet-mode guard and sha256 pinning. The main points to watch are shell-outs to external binaries (mineru, ffmpeg, soffice) and optional outbound calls to a remote embedding endpoint or ASR URL, which are user-configured and documented; the truncated code means some files could not be fully reviewed. Supply chain analysis found 8 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (1 critical, 4 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
