MCP security scanner fixes critical bugs in package verification and threat detection

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A security scanner for MCP servers, yunaremaia/mcp-guard, had three pull requests merged that addressed critical bugs. One PR fixed a feature that incorrectly returned 404 errors for all packages, preventing it from verifying npm package attestations. Another PR refined the scanner's keyword matching to prevent misclassifying read-only tools as critical threats, ensuring destructive actions are not missed. The third PR corrected an exit code issue where a clean scan would incorrectly return an error code, which could lead to CI pipelines ignoring security gates. AI
