Security Report

6.3

Moderate6.3Moderate Risk

Palinode is a well-architected MCP server for memory management with strong security fundamentals. Authentication and authorization are properly implemented (API token validation, scoped permissions, no unauthenticated access to sensitive operations). Code quality is good with proper input validation, error handling, and credential management. Dependencies are thoughtfully pinned with CVE rationale documented. Minor findings include a broad exception handler and incomplete input validation on one tool parameter; these are low-severity and do not materially affect the security posture. Supply chain analysis found 2 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 1 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
