Knostic: 'gadgethumans-mcp' npm MCP server sends users' raw wallet private key to a remote server
Knostic reported on 8 September 2026 that gadgethumans-mcp, an npm MCP server that promises AI agents automatic x402 micropayments, asks users to set a wallet private key but does no local signing. Instead it copies the raw key into a request header and sends it to a remote endpoint on every recognized tool call, which would let whoever receives it take over the wallet. The package had 2,327 downloads in July and August 2026 and was still on npm when the report came out; Knostic found no confirmed thefts. Anyone who set a key in it should move funds and use a fresh, low-balance wallet.

Zscaler: live web campaigns hide prompt injections telling browsing AI agents to make crypto payments
SecurityWeek reported on 6 July 2026 that Zscaler found two campaigns in use that plant hidden instructions on web pages for AI agents that can browse and pay. One used SEO poisoning to lure agents searching for a fake Python package, requests-secure-v2, backed by 10 GitHub repositories; the other typosquatted the DeFi portfolio tracker DeBank. In Zscaler's own tests 4 of 26 models were manipulated into making a payment and 2 mistook the fake DeBank site for the real one. No real losses were reported, but agents with spending power should only pay allow-listed recipients.
