What this malware does
Importing the module starts a reverse shell
Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers.
Campaign: 2026-02-cicibot-fix-message-naming
Reasons (based on the campaign):
- The package contains code to create a reverse shell, allowing an attacker to execute any commands on the victim's machine.
The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'cicibot-fix-message-naming' @ 0.0.1 (pypi) as malicious.
It is considered malicious because:
- The package executes one or more commands associated with malicious behavior.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for cicibot-fix-message-naming (version 0.0.1). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging cicibot-fix-message-naming across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
cicibot-fix-message-naming 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 cicibot-fix-message-naming 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 cicibot-fix-message-naming 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.
