Verification gaps / watch-outs

Installation and comprehensive security have not been independently audited.
Network reconnaissance and active security scanning Reported action classes: Network reconnaissance and active security scanning. Complete write authority is not verified.
Deployment-specific service credentials
Sensitive access: Asset lists, Security findings, Network details

Active scanning is not equivalent to harmless read-only access
Active security scanning and target enumeration require explicit authorization; no unsupported claims that external scanning is harmless.
Security reconnaissance and vulnerability scanning must have explicit asset-owner authorization. Network scanning is not benign; operator must protect deployed control panel.
Unknown vulnerabilities, deployment environment and client privileges not exhaustively reviewed.

Testing / Debugging setup

Publisher instructions.

Source evidence observed Oct 14, 2026.

Additional setup details required — see the specific gaps below.

Install / connect
Publisher instructions
ARL-Next is a self-hosted reconnaissance platform with optional MCP integration; heavy security-oriented deployment.
Deploy ARL-Next using the publisher Docker Compose deployment procedure; separately enable/configure any supported MCP integration. The platform install itself does not prove MCP client connection.
Configure / authenticate
Publisher instructions
ARL-Next is a complex Docker security investigation platform whose installer modifies host services as root; not a low-risk generic MCP stdio server. Present manual security review of deployment scripts, not unattended curl-pipe-shell.
Check connection
Suggested check
Avoid live scans; inspect deployed service health only after explicit administrator installation.
Remove / uninstall / revoke
MCP100 setup guide
Only from actual ARL-Next deployment folder with the matching production compose file; if custom compose filename supplied, use `docker compose -f <your-compose-file> down`. Preserve volumes and scan data.
Distinguish client registration removal from software uninstall, persistent data deletion and provider OAuth/API-key revocation.
docker compose down
