Malicious code in mcp-real-chrome (npm)
The npm package 'mcp-real-chrome' contains malicious code that can fully compromise any computer on which it is installed or running. This compromise may allow an attacker to gain full control over the affected system. Immediate removal of the package is recommended, but due to the potential extent of the compromise, simply removing the package may not eliminate all malicious components. All secrets and keys stored on the compromised machine should be rotated from a separate, secure device.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The 'mcp-real-chrome' npm package is identified as malicious software. Installation or execution of this package results in a full system compromise, potentially granting an attacker complete control over the affected computer. The compromise includes the risk of exposure of sensitive information such as secrets and keys. The package should be removed, but because the attacker may have installed additional malicious software, removal alone does not guarantee system recovery. Secrets and keys must be rotated from a different, uncompromised device to mitigate ongoing risk.
Potential Impact
Full system compromise on any computer with the package installed or running. Exposure and potential theft of all stored secrets and keys. Loss of trust in the integrity and confidentiality of the affected system. Potential persistence of malicious software beyond the removal of the package.
Mitigation Recommendations
Remove the 'mcp-real-chrome' package immediately from all affected systems. Rotate all secrets and keys stored on compromised machines from a separate, secure device. Due to the possibility of persistent malicious software, consider full system reimaging or forensic analysis to ensure complete remediation.
