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.\n","affected":[{"package":{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"sensorium-mcp"},"versions":["3.0.95"],"database_specific":{"cwes":[{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"}],"indicators":{"evidence_files":[{"path":"dist/tools/utility-tools.js","sha256":"a6f78206687d93519436f42a1aa645ba9368ac903e153bc34198c91a5d67922f","tlsh":"4c42861e2efa51324663e0b993177405f632e5472a0cd8d4b99d83312f6d820a6febd6"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"sensorium-mcp-3.0.95.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"10d9fcf23031448278d08d9589825e2f0cd7b07a","sha512_sri":"sha512-z3AfyR/uyiakPa2CHKetaMTbm0STtptFd+rNqSr+KcEsD8cMpOkdURfepGevur2y2TYVzMblSN1kLeoTshUp8w=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/sensorium-mcp/v/3.0.95"}],"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","type":"FINDER","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"]}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-010749","import_time":"2026-07-16T18:54:02.613184591Z","modified_time":"2026-07-16T18:41:49Z","sha256":"73c4ac95caf91cb047bab32d5202efa2dfc2e4f84a032160419a7c30739da91c","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["3.0.95"]}]}}
