Which versions of babetmf are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of babetmf are flagged malicious: 99.7. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate babetmf if I installed it?

babetmf 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 babetmf — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If babetmf was installed, its post-install payload may already have run. Removing the package does not undo that — check outbound connections and credential use from the install window onward.

Is babetmf part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — babetmf is associated with the 2024-11-byted-dast 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 babetmf across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for babetmf (version 99.7).

Part of a larger attack: 2024-11-byted-dast published 183 malicious packages. See the full campaign →
