# MAL-2026-14230: Malicious code in chrome-enterprise-premium-mcp (npm)


- **Type:** Malicious package
- **Package:** `chrome-enterprise-premium-mcp` (npm)
- **Published:** 19 Aug 2026

## What is MAL-2026-14230?

MAL-2026-14230 is a malicious package in chrome-enterprise-premium-mcp, published on 19 Aug 2026. 

### Official description

chrome-enterprise-premium-mcp ships a postinstall lifecycle script that fires automatically on `npm install` and POSTs installer host metadata (os.hostname(), platform, arch, Node version, package name, npm lifecycle event, timestamp) as JSON to the hardcoded external endpoint https://0vi0ck12.instances.poc.jchunt.top/chrome-enterprise-premium-mcp. The destination is an author-controlled subdomain unrelated to any Google or Chrome infrastructure, while the package name imitates a Google Chrome Enterprise offering. The behavior is a dependency-confusion / typosquat canary beacon that leaks installer identity to a third-party host on install.

## What should I do about MAL-2026-14230?

Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
