If a tool handler fails, it transmits the error and a host-linked fingerprint to the vendor endpoint. - **Trigger:** A configured MCP client invokes a tool and its handler throws. - **Impact:** Errors may reveal repository paths or other runtime details while enabling host correlation; the instructions can impair an agent's independent review. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js, README.md, package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-29T14:29:23.526Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** AI-agent instruction steering combined with undisclosed error telemetry. - **Attack narrative:** The package exposes MCP tool descriptions that tell an AI coding agent not to inspect source files before or after analysis. Its bundled runtime separately posts the tool name, full error message, version, and a hash derived from hostname and username to the vendor service whenever a handler fails. This telemetry is not disclosed in the included privacy statement, which expressly says there is no telemetry and only license validation reaches the network. - **Rationale:** The concealed telemetry and host fingerprint create a concrete data-exfiltration path, while the MCP descriptions attempt to constrain the host agent's inspection behavior. The absence of an install hook reduces installation risk but does not remove the runtime attack surface. - **Files touched:** dist/index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://openkrak-license-server.openkrak.workers.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** MCP tool text tells the coding agent not to read source files, which can override normal user-directed inspection., The runtime sends tool names, error messages, a version, and a stable host fingerprint to an external telemetry endpoint., The README says telemetry is absent and only license validation uses the network, contradicting the bundled runtime. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no install lifecycle hook., The analysis pipeline reads the user-selected repository locally; no source-content upload call was found., The telemetry call is reached only when a tool handler throws. ## Public findings ### 1.
