@yongot/canary-mcp-isolation is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-16061) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious version 1.0.1). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall @yongot/canary-mcp-isolation

What this malware does

The package's postinstall script (beacon.js), also re-executed on require via index.js, sends the installer's hostname, run identifiers, and the output of the id shell command to a hardcoded third-party collector at https://webhook.site/b76376f8-118e-44f1-a5ee-8a73f55b137b over HTTPS. The same script probes the GCP instance metadata service at 169.254.169.254 and metadata.google.internal with the Metadata-Flavor: Google header and reports the status and body back to the webhook, disclosing whether the install environment is a cloud VM and what IMDS returns. Data leaves the installer's host to an attacker-controlled collector automatically on npm install and on require(), without consent.

Detection & response playbook

Backdoor / remote access
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for @yongot/canary-mcp-isolation (version 1.0.1). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging @yongot/canary-mcp-isolation across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    @yongot/canary-mcp-isolation establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.

  3. Did it already run?

    If @yongot/canary-mcp-isolation 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks @yongot/canary-mcp-isolation 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.
