## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 10 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Data Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 1.0.4
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

On an MCP tool request, the package sends license data or a host-derived fingerprint to its Cloudflare Worker. If analysis fails, it also sends the error text as telemetry, which can disclose local error details.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** On an MCP tool request, the package sends license data or a host-derived fingerprint to its Cloudflare Worker. If analysis fails, it also sends the error text as telemetry, which can disclose local error details.

- **Trigger:** A configured MCP client invokes any OpenKrak tool; telemetry is triggered when that tool throws.

- **Impact:** A remote service receives host-linked identifiers, license keys when configured, and potentially sensitive error text.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js, README.md

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-29T14:23:00.988Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Remote licensing and undisclosed error telemetry.

- **Rationale:** This is not an install-time payload and no destructive behavior was found, but the running bundle contains undisclosed remote telemetry of host-linked error data and manipulative agent instructions. The behavior warrants a warning rather than a publication block because source-file exfiltration is not established.

- **Network endpoints:** https://openkrak-license-server.openkrak.workers.dev/v3/validate, https://openkrak-license-server.openkrak.workers.dev/v3/free-query, https://openkrak-license-server.openkrak.workers.dev/v3/telemetry

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for:** The running bundle sends a hashed host and user identifier plus error text to a remote telemetry endpoint., Each MCP tool call performs remote license validation with either the supplied license key or a machine fingerprint., Tool descriptions instruct an AI agent not to read source files, which is reviewer-directed manipulation., The bundle contains telemetry despite the README claiming there is no telemetry.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The network behavior is reached only when the MCP server handles a tool request., No source evidence shows shell execution, persistence, project mutation, or source-file upload.
