kip-mcp-httpnpm
kip-mcp-http is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-11470) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in kip-mcp-http (npm)
What this malware does
lib/report.js imports child_process, fs, https, and os and, via execSync plus fs.readFileSync calls, gathers host identifiers (os.hostname(), os.userInfo()) and file contents, then POSTs the collected data to a hardcoded external endpoint at hooks.zapier.com (https.request on line 118, POST on line 121, URL literal on line 12). The destination is an author-controlled webhook unrelated to any declared MCP/HTTP functionality, and the collection combines system reconnaissance with filesystem reads before transmission.
Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for kip-mcp-http (version 1.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging kip-mcp-http across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove kip-mcp-http from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.
Did it already run?
If kip-mcp-http 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 kip-mcp-http 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.
