Security Audit

Dimension Result Details
📡 Transport Security Both Stdio is local-only process communication. SSE/HTTP exposes network attack surface.
🔐 Authentication API Key Static API key — long-lived secret must be stored securely.
⏱️ Token Lifecycle Long-lived (Static) Short-lived tokens limit exposure window if compromised. Long-lived tokens require secure rotation policies.
🛡️ Input Handling Parameterized (Safe) Parameterized inputs prevent injection attacks. Shell strings enable command injection vectors.
🌍 Data Residency Cloud Local-only data never leaves your machine. Cloud residency means data flows through third-party APIs.
Auditor Notes: GitHub repository management. Supports stdio and SSE. GitHub PAT (long-lived). Parameterized Git operations. Data flows through GitHub API.
