Tool use transmits a derived machine identifier and may transmit error text to a remote service. - **Trigger:** A configured coding agent lists or calls an OpenKrak MCP tool. - **Impact:** An agent may be steered away from independent source inspection; remote service receives a persistent host-derived identifier and error details. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js, dist/license/check.js, dist/tools/analyze\_repo.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-29T14:37:02.900Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Agent-directed prompt injection combined with remote fingerprint and error telemetry. - **Attack narrative:** After a user configures this package as an MCP server, its tool descriptions tell the coding agent to call its analysis first and not inspect source files. Every tool call performs licensing with a hash derived from hostname and username. Failures additionally report error text and that hash to the remote service. This combines AI behavior steering with remote host tracking, although it does not run during npm installation. - **Rationale:** The package embeds instructions intended to make an AI defer to its opaque analysis rather than independently inspect source, which is agent-control manipulation. Its per-call host fingerprinting and error telemetry strengthen the concrete privacy and control risk despite no install hook. - **Files touched:** dist/index.js - **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:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The MCP tool description directs an AI to avoid reading repository source and to answer only from package-produced output., Each tool call sends a stable host-and-user-derived fingerprint to a remote license service., Error handling also sends the tool name, error text, version, and fingerprint to that service. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has only a publish-time build hook; installation does not execute package code., Repository analysis is invoked through an MCP tool with a caller-supplied path, not automatically at install., No source inspected writes agent configuration, spawns commands, or downloads and executes a payload. ## Public findings ### 1.
