CVE-2022-29244low · fixedCVSS 3.1

Packing does not respect root-level ignore files in workspaces

### Impact `npm pack` ignores root-level `.gitignore` & `.npmignore` file exclusion directives when run in a workspace or with a workspace flag (ie. `--workspaces`, `--workspace=<name>`). Anyone who has run `npm pack` or `npm publish` with workspaces, as of [v7.9.0](https://github.com/npm/cli/releases/tag/v7.9.0) & [v7.13.0](https://github.com/npm/cli/releases/tag/v7.13.0) respectively, may be affected and have published files into the npm registry they did not intend to include. ### Patch - Up

CVE-2018-7408low · fixedCVSS 3

Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource in NPM

An issue was discovered in an npm 5.7.0 2018-02-21 pre-release (marked as "next: 5.7.0" and therefore automatically installed by an "npm upgrade -g npm" command, and also announced in the vendor's blog without mention of pre-release status). It might allow local users to bypass intended filesystem access restrictions because ownerships of /etc and /usr directories are being changed unexpectedly, related to a "correctMkdir" issue.

CVE-2013-4116info · fixed

Local Privilege Escalation in npm

Affected versions of `npm` use predictable temporary file names during archive unpacking. If an attacker can create a symbolic link at the location of one of these temporary file names, the attacker can arbitrarily write to any file that the user which owns the `npm` process has permission to write to, potentially resulting in local privilege escalation. ## Recommendation Update to version 1.3.3 or later.

npm CLI exposing sensitive information through logs

Versions of the npm CLI prior to 6.14.6 are vulnerable to an information exposure vulnerability through log files. The CLI supports URLs like `<protocol>://[<user>[:<password>]@]<hostname>[:<port>][:][/]<path>`. The password value is not redacted and is printed to stdout and also to any generated log files.

npm Vulnerable to Global node_modules Binary Overwrite

Versions of the npm CLI prior to 6.13.4 are vulnerable to a Global node_modules Binary Overwrite. It fails to prevent existing globally-installed binaries to be overwritten by other package installations. For example, if a package was installed globally and created a `serve` binary, any subsequent installs of packages that also create a `serve` binary would overwrite the first binary. This will not overwrite system binaries but only binaries put into the global node_modules directory. This b

README

omnifocus-mcp

An MCP server for OmniFocus that exposes the full Omni Automation JavaScript API to LLM callers.

macOS only. Requires OmniFocus running on the same machine. The entire implementation runs OmniJS snippets inside OmniFocus via osascript -l JavaScript — no AppleScript string generation, no scripting dictionary limitations.

Prerequisites

macOS (Omni Automation is macOS-only; the server will not start on other platforms)
OmniFocus installed and running
Node.js ≥ 20

Install

The package is published to npm as @scardis/omnifocus-mcp.

Via npx (no install required)

Add to your MCP client config (e.g. Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "omnifocus": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@scardis/omnifocus-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

From source

git clone https://github.com/steveardis/omnifocus-mcp.git
cd omnifocus-mcp
npm install
npm run build

Then configure your MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "omnifocus": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/omnifocus-mcp/dist/server.js"]
    }
  }
}

Addressing model

Every entity returned by this server includes a stable id field (id.primaryKey from OmniFocus). Use this ID in subsequent calls rather than names. Names can be ambiguous; IDs are not.

If you have a name but not an ID, use resolve_name. It returns a list — if multiple candidates are returned, inspect the path field and ask the user to disambiguate before proceeding with any write operation.
