Which versions of aliyun-python-sdk-v2 are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of aliyun-python-sdk-v2 are flagged malicious: 2.13.36. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate aliyun-python-sdk-v2 if I installed it?

aliyun-python-sdk-v2 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 aliyun-python-sdk-v2 — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If aliyun-python-sdk-v2 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 aliyun-python-sdk-v2 part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — aliyun-python-sdk-v2 is associated with the 2026-02-alibabacloude, RLMA-2026-00058 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 aliyun-python-sdk-v2 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 aliyun-python-sdk-v2 (version 2.13.36). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging aliyun-python-sdk-v2 across your stack and pipelines.

What this malware does

Series of packages impersonating Alibaba Cloud. Two oldest hide code to run obfuscated code, but are likely to be used as dependency as the obfuscated code is not inside. The newest describe similar functionality, but the inside is highly obfuscated. Package names closely reassemble names of real Alibaba packages

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

Campaign: 2026-02-alibabacloude

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer

Find it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for aliyun-python-sdk-v2 (version 2.13.36). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging aliyun-python-sdk-v2 across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
aliyun-python-sdk-v2 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 aliyun-python-sdk-v2 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 aliyun-python-sdk-v2 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.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks aliyun-python-sdk-v2-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
