Which versions of aiohtto are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of aiohtto are flagged malicious: 3.13.3. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate aiohtto if I installed it?

aiohtto is built to steal secrets, so assume every credential the build or runtime could read is compromised. Remove it from your project and lockfile, then rotate ALL exposed secrets — npm/registry tokens, cloud keys, CI/CD secrets, SSH keys, and any .env values — from a known-clean machine. Audit logs for unauthorized use of those credentials.

I already installed aiohtto — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If aiohtto 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.

Is aiohtto part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — aiohtto is associated with the 2026-01-aiihttp campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find aiohtto across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for aiohtto (version 3.13.3). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging aiohtto across your stack and pipelines.

MAL-2026-36

Immediate action

Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.

pip uninstall aiohtto

What this malware does

Obfuscated code downloads an encrypted binary blob, which is malware finally starting cryptomining. After starting the malware, the Python package uninstall itself and installs the legitimate package, covering tracks of the infection.

Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers.

Find it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for aiohtto (version 3.13.3). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging aiohtto across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
aiohtto is built to steal secrets, so assume every credential the build or runtime could read is compromised. Remove it from your project and lockfile, then rotate ALL exposed secrets — npm/registry tokens, cloud keys, CI/CD secrets, SSH keys, and any .env values — from a known-clean machine. Audit logs for unauthorized use of those credentials.
Did it already run?
If aiohtto 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 aiohtto 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.

Frequently asked questions
