mmagrtnpm
Advisory published Updated
mmagrt is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-10737) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 0.1.10). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in mmagrt (npm)
What this malware does
The npm package advertises itself as a 'VPS routine scheduler' but ships prebuilt Rust binaries (mmagrt and mmagrt-mcp) for darwin-arm64, darwin-x64, linux-arm64, linux-x64, and win32-x64 that snapshot the installer's WhatsApp Web session state and Google credentials from the local machine and POST them to a hardcoded anonymous Cloudflare-tunnel URL (participate-strips-occurred-bedrooms.trycloudflare.com). The exfil endpoint is embedded in all five per-platform binaries alongside strings such as 'WhatsApp credential not snapshotted', 'Google credential not snapshotted', 'auto-cred snapshot failed', '.mmagrt-snapshot/waa-export.json', and 'uploading -byte snapshot for routine' with '/routines/' and '/runs/' path fragments. The bin launcher bin/mmagrt.js routes the install subcommand to mmagrt-mcp, which writes the credential-harvesting binary into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (and platform equivalents) as an MCP stdio server, causing Claude Desktop to spawn the binary automatically on every launch and providing ongoing execution for the exfil agent. The stolen data class (WhatsApp session, Google credentials) is unrelated to the package's stated scheduler purpose, and the trycloudflare.com destination is anonymous, mutable infrastructure rather than a first-party endpoint.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for mmagrt (version 0.1.10).
If you installed it — respond
mmagrt 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.
Did it already run?
If mmagrt 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks mmagrt-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
