@mrbenty8jf1p9y5/oidc-bind-canarynpm
@mrbenty8jf1p9y5/oidc-bind-canary is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13626) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 0.0.3). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @mrbenty8jf1p9y5/oidc-bind-canary (npm)
What this malware does
The package's postinstall lifecycle script issues an HTTPS request from the installer's machine to a Cloudflare tunnel at wiki-shared-carlos-exempt.trycloudflare.com on path /token-capture. The request is sent with the Host header spoofed to dependabot-api.githubapp.com and with TLS certificate validation disabled (rejectUnauthorized:false), disguising the callout as legitimate GitHub Dependabot traffic. The destination path name (/token-capture) and the disguise mechanics indicate an install-time beacon to an attacker-controlled listener, firing automatically on npm install.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for @mrbenty8jf1p9y5/oidc-bind-canary (version 0.0.3). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging @mrbenty8jf1p9y5/oidc-bind-canary across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
@mrbenty8jf1p9y5/oidc-bind-canary is built to steal secrets, so assume every credential the build or runtime could read is compromised. Remove it from your project and lockfile, then rotate ALL exposed secrets — npm/registry tokens, cloud keys, CI/CD secrets, SSH keys, and any .env values — from a known-clean machine. Audit logs for unauthorized use of those credentials.
Did it already run?
If @mrbenty8jf1p9y5/oidc-bind-canary was ever installed, its post-install/runtime payload may have already executed. O3's L7 egress monitoring and runtime eBPF sensors detect the credential exfiltration or command-and-control callback after install and block the malicious outbound channel, so you catch and contain the actual compromise — not just the presence of the package.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks @mrbenty8jf1p9y5/oidc-bind-canary before install through its supply-chain scanner, and if it has already run, detects and severs the exfiltration or C2 callback at runtime through L7 egress monitoring and eBPF.
