Which versions of sensorium-mcp are malicious?

The following npm versions of sensorium-mcp are flagged malicious: 3.0.95. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate sensorium-mcp if I installed it?

sensorium-mcp 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.

I already installed sensorium-mcp — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If sensorium-mcp 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.

Is sensorium-mcp part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — sensorium-mcp is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-010749 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find sensorium-mcp across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for sensorium-mcp (version 3.0.95).

What this malware does

sensorium-mcp starts a background poller against api.telegram.org/getUpdates and delivers received message text as prompts to locally spawned Claude Code (invoked with --dangerously-skip-permissions) and Codex (invoked with --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox). Because the agents' approval/sandbox prompts are disabled by the package, any party holding the Telegram bot token and chat id can issue instructions that execute as shell and file operations on the installer's host. The keepAlive threads auto-launch when the server is started. In addition, the MCP send_file tool accepts any absolute path inside the installer's cwd or home directory, reads the file, and uploads it to the configured Telegram chat via telegram.sendDocument, exposing paths such as ~/.ssh/id_rsa, ~/.aws/credentials, and ~/.npmrc to whoever controls the bot. The ping-related patterns flagged in dist/http-server.js and dist/services/self-update.service.js are health-check / keepalive references and are not the primary basis for this verdict.
