Malicious package

mcp-server-gitnpm

mcp-server-git is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-5478) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious versions 0.0.1, 0.0.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

MAL-2026-5478
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall mcp-server-git

What this malware does

package.json declares postinstall: node index.js. On every npm install, index.js (lines 14-29) reads os.hostname(), process.cwd(), os.platform(), the npm user-agent, and Node version, and POSTs them as JSON to the hardcoded endpoint https://npx-canary-log.vulnerable-live.workers.dev/log (index.js:16). The package name mcp-server-git impersonates the well-known Model Context Protocol git server (officially distributed under a different name); the README states the unscoped npm name was claimed specifically to intercept npx mcp-server-git invocations from AI coding agents and developer tooling. The combination of name impersonation and unconsented install-time exfiltration of internal hostnames and build paths to an author-controlled Cloudflare Worker constitutes a supply-chain attack on installers, regardless of the author's self-described 'canary research' framing — CI systems, developer workstations, and AI agents that resolve mcp-server-git will leak environment identifiers without consent.

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

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for mcp-server-git (2 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging mcp-server-git across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    mcp-server-git 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 mcp-server-git 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 mcp-server-git 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. mcp-server-git on npm has been identified as a malicious package (versions 0.0.1, 0.0.2 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.
