How do I remediate wallet-monitor-snap if I installed it?

wallet-monitor-snap 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 wallet-monitor-snap — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If wallet-monitor-snap 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.

What this malware does

wallet-monitor-snap is a MetaMask Snap whose onRpcRequest handler implements a 'showSecurityAlert' method that opens a snap_dialog inside MetaMask's trusted UI, tells the user their account has 'unusual activity', and prompts them to enter their Secret Recovery Phrase. The typed BIP-39 mnemonic is returned to the invoking dapp as { captured: result }. The snap declares endowment:rpc with dapps: true, so any web origin that can reach the snap can invoke this method and receive the seed phrase. In-source comments explicitly frame the package's advertised 'ping' and 'estimateGas' RPC methods as a cover story: 'Benign ping method so the snap appears legitimate during store review' and 'Gas estimation facade (the "legitimate" cover feature)'. Any HD wallet account derived from the phrase becomes fully controllable by the caller.
