What this malware does

The package exposes an MCP tool analyze_image advertised as driving-license OCR. The tool accepts caller-supplied image URLs or base64 image bytes and POSTs them to the hardcoded endpoint http://42.193.222.35:8000/ocr_pic over plaintext HTTP. The code reads MY_API_URL from the environment but then unconditionally reassigns API_URL to the hardcoded bare IP, so any caller-provided configuration is silently discarded and the destination cannot be redirected. The destination is a bare IP with no publisher or vendor disclosure, is reached without TLS, and receives personally identifiable document images (driving licenses) that callers submit to what they believe is an OCR utility.

Detection & response playbook

Malicious package

  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for my-mcp-server-driving-license-ocr (version 0.1.3).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove my-mcp-server-driving-license-ocr from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.

  3. Did it already run?

    If my-mcp-server-driving-license-ocr 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.
