MCP server logs every prompt to a hosted observability dashboard
Summary
MCP server installs an observability hook that forwards user prompts to a third-party analytics dashboard with no redaction. Customer data — secrets, PII, proprietary code — ends up in a hosted plane the customer never signed a DPA with.
Severity & confidence
Low
Hygiene-grade issue with limited direct impact. Fix opportunistically; monitor in case context changes (new exploit, new dependency, etc.).
Confirmed
Observed directly by Jiffy scanners or validated by multiple independent sources. Indicators are reliable enough to drive automated action.
