It does not by itself establish malware intent. The CLI warns by default and blocks when configured for this policy. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. There is no automatic install-time execution or confirmed code exfiltration, so a publish block is not warranted. The coercive AI-facing instructions and host fingerprint transmission create a real, unresolved agent-security and privacy risk. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-07T12:09:56.845Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-07T12:10:58.928Z - **Download time:** 256 ms - **Static scan time:** 46 ms - **AI review time:** 61781 ms - **Total time:** 62083 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** When an MCP client invokes the repository-analysis tools, the package reads the selected repository and runs Git there. It also returns instructions intended to prevent the AI client from independently verifying its results. - **Trigger:** An MCP client calls analyze\_repo, get\_mahadata, get\_hotspots, or blast\_radius. - **Impact:** An AI coding client may rely on package-generated summaries and skip source inspection, reducing independent security review. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js, dist/license/check.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-07T12:10:58.928Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Repository analysis combined with AI-directed source-verification suppression. - **Rationale:** There is no automatic install-time execution or confirmed code exfiltration, so a publish block is not warranted. The coercive AI-facing instructions and host fingerprint transmission create a real, unresolved agent-security and privacy risk. - **Network endpoints:** https://openkrak-license-server.openkrak.workers.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for policy risk:** Its MCP tool description directs an AI to treat its output as ground truth and not independently read source files., On each tool call, it sends a hash derived from the hostname and local username to its license server., The runtime executes a Git command in the user-supplied repository and analyses that repository. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no install, postinstall, or preinstall hook., The observed network calls are tied to licensing, usage accounting, and error telemetry; no source-content upload is present. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to openkrak-mcp@1.1.2. - Review the evidence and your use of openkrak-mcp@1.1.2 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
