cdktn-provider-azurermPyPI
cdktn-provider-azurerm is a confirmed malicious PyPI package (MAL-2026-13606) that typosquats a legitimate package to trick installs (malicious version 17.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in cdktn-provider-azurerm (PyPI)
What this malware does
Package name and branding closely mimic HashiCorp's legitimate cdktf-provider-azurerm (CDK for Terraform), with a single-character substitution (cdktf → cdktn) and fabricated 'CDK Terrain' branding at cdktn.io that mirrors HashiCorp's cdk.tf. PKG-INFO declares Requires-Dist: cdktn<0.25.0,>=0.24.0, forcing installation of a non-HashiCorp base package cdktn (analogue of the legitimate cdktf). The top-level module executes import cdktn._jsii at load time via src/cdktn_provider_azurerm/_jsii/init.py, so any code shipped in the attacker-controlled cdktn base runs in the installer's Python process the first time the provider is imported. README and metadata further reference cdktn-io/cdktn-provider-azurerm and a nonexistent open-constructs/cdk-terrain issue tracker, engineered to look identical to real HashiCorp CDKTF branding.

Detection & response playbook
TyposquatFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for cdktn-provider-azurerm (version 17.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging cdktn-provider-azurerm across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
cdktn-provider-azurerm is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove cdktn-provider-azurerm, install the correct package, and rotate any secrets exposed during the install since post-install scripts may have already run.
Did it already run?
If cdktn-provider-azurerm 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 cdktn-provider-azurerm 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 cdktn-provider-azurerm-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the malicious outbound activity and severs the channel.
