Security Report

7.6
Moderate7.6Low Risk

Verdi Bridge is a Python MCP server that exposes typed tools for querying a licensed Synopsys Verdi waveform session, with explicit argument validation, Tcl/shell-injection protections (tests verify this), and private 0700 IPC directories. Permissions (local IPC, SSH invocation, reading source/log files under configured roots, NPI subprocess) match its stated EDA debugging purpose; the only notable items are the SSH/remote shell command construction and the broad file-read surface, which are reasonably guarded but worth reviewing; the truncated client.py was not fully reviewed. Supply chain analysis found 1 known vulnerability in dependencies (0 critical, 1 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
