sypoi1npm
sypoi1 is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-6405) that executes malicious code on install (malicious versions 1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in sypoi1 (npm)
What this malware does
On require, index.js silently bootstraps a full Python runtime on the installer's machine — first via winget install -e --id Python.Python.3.12 --silent, falling back to downloading python-3.12.3-amd64.exe from python.org and executing it with /quiet InstallAllUsers=0 PrependPath=1 — then silently pip installs pyautogui, keyboard, mss, pillow, pyperclip, and uiautomation. It then spawns pointer.py, which installs system-wide hotkeys (Ctrl+C, Alt+S, F8/F9/F10, Alt+M, Ctrl+Q), creates a topmost transparent always-on-top Tk window using overrideredirect(True) to hide from the user, continuously monitors clipboard contents, and on hotkeys captures full-monitor screenshots and on-screen text via UI Automation. Captured clipboard text and base64-encoded screenshots are POSTed to a hardcoded destination at https://iq-overlay-pointer.vercel.app/api. The agent also exposes a mash_callback mode that hooks keyboard.on_press with suppress=True and substitutes attacker-supplied characters via pyautogui.write(char), injecting keystrokes into whatever window is focused. The package's declared purpose — "System binary configuration tool" by author "SysDev" with keywords system/binary/util/config — does not match any of this behavior; the metadata is a cover story for a screen/clipboard surveillance and remote-keystroke-injection agent.
Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for sypoi1 (3 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging sypoi1 across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove sypoi1 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.
Did it already run?
If sypoi1 was ever installed, its post-install/runtime payload may have already executed. O3's L7 egress monitoring and runtime eBPF sensors detect the credential exfiltration or command-and-control callback after install and block the malicious outbound channel, so you catch and contain the actual compromise — not just the presence of the package.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks sypoi1 before install through its supply-chain scanner, and if it has already run, detects and severs the exfiltration or C2 callback at runtime through L7 egress monitoring and eBPF.
