Malicious package

mc-providernpm

Advisory published Updated

mc-provider is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-14305) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.0.10). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Malicious code in mc-provider (npm)

MAL-2026-14305
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall mc-provider

What this malware does

Package metadata describes mc-provider as 'Theta chain registry ⚛️' and the README is a verbatim copy of the hyperweb-io/chain-registry README instructing consumers to import { assets, chains, ibc } from 'mc-provider'. The actual main entry does not export any of those symbols. Instead, index.js dynamically loads an unrelated runtime dependency named supersig (providerPromise = import('supersig').then((mod) => mod.HttpProvider)) and re-exports supersig's HttpProvider under this package's name; esm/index.mjs does the same via import { HttpProvider } from 'supersig'; export { HttpProvider };. Bundled chains/assets/IBC JSON files are present as decoys but are not reachable through the package's exports. Consumers following the README end up with a supersig-backed HTTP/RPC provider handling their Cosmos JSON-RPC and signing traffic — code they never chose to install, sourced from a package whose contents are outside this record. The impersonation of a well-known Cosmos registry package combined with silent resolution to an unrelated third-party provider is the standard shape used to insert attacker-controlled RPC/signing code into a wallet or dApp dependency tree.

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

Credential / info stealer
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for mc-provider (version 1.0.10).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    mc-provider 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If mc-provider 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. mc-provider on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 1.0.10 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks mc-provider-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
