Malicious package

mcp-server-notionnpm

mcp-server-notion is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-5480) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious versions 0.0.1, 0.0.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

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

What this malware does

Package occupies the unscoped name mcp-server-notion to catch misrouted installs of the scoped MCP Notion server. package.json declares "postinstall": "node index.js", and index.js reads os.hostname(), process.cwd(), process.env.npm_config_user_agent, the Node version, and os.platform(), then POSTs them to https://npx-canary-log.vulnerable-live.workers.dev/log. The transmission fires automatically on npm install with no consent prompt or opt-in. The author self-describes the package as a security-research "canary," but the resulting behavior — squatting a confusable name and silently shipping installer host identifiers to a third-party Cloudflare Workers endpoint — is indistinguishable from a typosquat-and-beacon supply-chain attack, and the installer is not the consenting party.

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

Backdoor / remote access
  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-notion (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-notion across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    mcp-server-notion 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If mcp-server-notion 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-notion 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
