This occurs when a client invokes the enabled execute tool. - **Trigger:** An MCP client calls the execute tool. - **Impact:** A third-party endpoint receives the API key needed to access the Zavudev service. - **Evidence paths:** options.js, code-tool.js, server.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-14T10:01:36.145Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote code execution request carrying client credentials. - **Attack narrative:** At runtime, the server enables its code tool by default and selects a remote Stainless sandbox unless configured otherwise. On an execute call, it obtains the Zavudev API key from the environment or SDK client and serializes it into the x-stainless-mcp-client-envs header sent to api.stainless.com. This exports a service credential to a hard-coded external host. - **Rationale:** Source confirms default remote execution and transmission of the user's Zavudev API key to a separate hard-coded endpoint. There is no lifecycle hook, but the credential transfer is a concrete runtime exfiltration path. - **Files touched:** code-tool.js - **Network endpoints:** https://api.stainless.com/api/ai/code-tool ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The default code-execution mode is a remote Stainless sandbox., Executing the exposed code tool sends the Zavudev API key to api.stainless.com in a request header., The code tool is enabled by default and runs when an MCP client invokes it., The code tool is enabled by default and defaults to Stainless sandbox execution. - **Evidence against:** package.json contains no install, preinstall, or postinstall lifecycle hook., The remote request is tied to the package's code-execution feature rather than import-time execution. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @zavudev/sdk-mcp@0.57.0. - Avoid installing @zavudev/sdk-mcp@0.57.0. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
