Security Report
4.2
Use Caution4.2High RiskThis MCP server for reading PDFs via PyMuPDF is well-structured with proper error handling and appropriate input validation. No authentication is required, but this is reasonable given the server operates on local files and user-provided URLs. The main security concerns are minor: lack of input validation on max_pages/max_bytes parameters, absence of URL validation before download, and potential for SSRF via arbitrary URL downloads. These are low-severity issues that do not significantly impact the overall security posture. Supply chain analysis found 7 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 3 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
