What the code does

We read the source, 21 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

A tool parameter reaches a dangerous call

A value the model can set ends up inside a file or shell call. That is not a flaw by itself — for a terminal server it is the job — but it is where things go wrong when it is not.

A tool parameter reaches a file or shell call get_job.jobId → mcp/automation-service.mjs:574, get_job.jobId → mcp/automation-service.mjs:582, cancel_job.jobId → mcp/automation-service.mjs:584 и ещё 8
    await fs.writeFile(temp, `${JSON.stringify(record)}\n`, { encoding: "utf8", mode: 0o600 });
Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

Runs commands and hides how demo-video/render.mjs:432
    const child = spawn(command, args, { cwd: root, stdio: ["ignore", "inherit", "inherit"], windowsHide: true });
Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

A line of code looks encrypted demo-video/render.mjs:501
  filters.push(`[${index}:v]scale=1920:1080,zoompan=z='${zoomExpr}':x='iw/2-(iw/zoom/2)':y='ih/2-(ih/zoom/2)':d=1:s=1920x1080:fps=${fps},trim=duration=${scene.duration},setpts=PTS-STARTPTS,format=yuv420p[v${index}]`);
    const child = spawn(command, args, { cwd: root, stdio: ["ignore", "inherit", "inherit"], windowsHide: true });
const assets = (name) => path.join(root, "site", "assets", name);

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

A tool parameter here reaches a dangerous call

That is not a flaw by itself — but it is where things go wrong when it is not the job. We re-read this code on every release. Watch it and you hear from us the day another one appears.
