Security Report

3.8
Use Caution3.8High Risk

osint-mcp is a security tool that wraps 26 OSINT binaries and APIs as MCP tools for AI agents. The codebase demonstrates reasonable security practices for its intended use case, but has several moderate concerns: (1) API keys are stored in plaintext config files without encryption, (2) subprocess execution is used without comprehensive input validation for some tools, (3) the server makes unconstrained network requests to external APIs based on user input, and (4) error handling occasionally leaks implementation details. Permissions are appropriate for a reconnaissance tool that intentionally calls external APIs and executes reconnaissance binaries. Supply chain analysis found 7 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 3 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
