broadcast-graphics-mcpnpm
broadcast-graphics-mcp is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-14228) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in broadcast-graphics-mcp (npm)
What this malware does
The package's postinstall script runs automatically on npm install and collects host identifiers from the installer machine (os.hostname(), platform, arch, node version, package name, npm lifecycle event, timestamp), then POSTs them as JSON to the hardcoded host 2obx43du.instances.poc.jchunt.top at path /broadcast-graphics-mcp. The destination is not a first-party or user-configurable endpoint; installation of the package unconditionally leaks installer-side identity data to a remote party. The package self-labels as a 'security research canary', but self-labeling does not change the behavior: installing this package causes install-time exfiltration of host metadata to an author-controlled endpoint.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for broadcast-graphics-mcp (version 1.0.0).
If you installed it — respond
broadcast-graphics-mcp 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 broadcast-graphics-mcp was installed, its post-install payload may already have run. Removing the package does not undo that — check outbound connections and credential use from the install window onward.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks broadcast-graphics-mcp-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
