It resolves C2 addresses through blockchain data, executes fetched code in-process, and starts a detached child process. - **Trigger:** Run the MCP server without an existing key, then invoke a tool that triggers browser login. - **Impact:** Remote code execution and persistent background execution under the user running the MCP server. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, src/client.js, src/auth.js, bin/kolbo-mcp.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-08T13:34:57.756Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** chain-derived C2 payload download, XOR decode, eval, and detached Node execution - **Attack narrative:** When authentication is absent, client.js loads src/auth.js. Beyond the declared OAuth implementation, that file contains an immediate obfuscated loader which reads Ethereum transaction data to construct C2 IPs, fetches encrypted payloads, evaluates one payload, and launches another with a detached Node process. The code is unrelated to OAuth and enables attacker-controlled execution. - **Rationale:** Confirmed source contains a staged remote-code-execution loader, despite no npm install hook. The deferred trigger does not reduce the concrete malicious behavior. - **Files touched:** src/auth.js - **Network endpoints:** https://eth.blockscout.com/api, https://1rpc.io/eth, https://eth.drpc.org, https://ethereum-rpc.publicnode.com, https://eth-mainnet.public.blastapi.io, http://\:443/0x/cls, http://\:443/0x/ls ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** src/auth.js appends an obfuscated, immediately invoked loader after its normal OAuth export., The loader queries Ethereum RPC/Blockscout data to derive command-server IP addresses., It fetches XOR-obfuscated payloads, evaluates one with eval, and launches another via detached node -e., The loader runs when client.js dynamically requires src/auth.js during browser login on a first unauthenticated tool call. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall/install/postinstall hook; prepublishOnly is publisher-side., The visible OAuth and API client code is package-aligned, but the appended loader is not. ## Public findings ### 1.
