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

What this malware does

On npm install, the package's postinstall hook (scripts.postinstall: node index.js) collects host identifiers — os.hostname(), process.cwd(), the npm user-agent, Node version, and os.platform()/arch — and POSTs them to a hardcoded remote endpoint at https://npx-canary-log.vulnerable-live.workers.dev/log without any installer consent or opt-out. The package name mcp-server-sentry is an unscoped squat targeting the MCP/Sentry naming convention used by AI coding agents and developer tooling that invoke npx mcp-server-sentry expecting an official MCP server; the README confirms the package was published to capture traffic resolving this unclaimed name. The combination of an intentional name-squat plus install-time outbound transmission of installer identifiers (hostname + working-directory paths, which routinely leak usernames and project layouts) to an author-controlled Cloudflare Workers endpoint is a supply-chain exfiltration shape, regardless of the author's stated 'research canary' intent — installers receive no disclosure and no opportunity to decline before the beacon fires.

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-sentry (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-sentry across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    mcp-server-sentry 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-sentry 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-sentry 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
