Security Report

4.2

Use Caution4.2High Risk

The Lightning Enable MCP server demonstrates solid security architecture for cryptocurrency wallet operations. Authentication is properly implemented via NWC connection strings and API keys. However, there are moderate concerns around cryptographic validation, test-only hardcoded keys that could leak if misused, and some unvalidated external data handling. The server appropriately matches its stated purpose with reasonable permission scope, though the financial nature of operations warrants careful monitoring. Supply chain analysis found 4 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 3 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
