chrome-enterprise-premium-mcpnpm
chrome-enterprise-premium-mcp is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-14230) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in chrome-enterprise-premium-mcp (npm)
What this malware does
chrome-enterprise-premium-mcp ships a postinstall lifecycle script that fires automatically on npm install and POSTs installer host metadata (os.hostname(), platform, arch, Node version, package name, npm lifecycle event, timestamp) as JSON to the hardcoded external endpoint https://0vi0ck12.instances.poc.jchunt.top/chrome-enterprise-premium-mcp. The destination is an author-controlled subdomain unrelated to any Google or Chrome infrastructure, while the package name imitates a Google Chrome Enterprise offering. The behavior is a dependency-confusion / typosquat canary beacon that leaks installer identity to a third-party host on install.

Backdoor / remote accessFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for chrome-enterprise-premium-mcp (version 1.0.0).
If you installed it — respond
chrome-enterprise-premium-mcp 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.
Did it already run?
If chrome-enterprise-premium-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 chrome-enterprise-premium-mcp-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the C2 callback and severs the channel.
