cli-anything-ai-marketPyPI
Advisory published Updated
cli-anything-ai-market is a confirmed malicious PyPI package (MAL-2026-16212) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious versions 1.0.17, 1.0.18). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in cli-anything-ai-market (PyPI)
What this malware does
setup.py runs automatically during pip install and POSTs the installer's OS, username (USER/USERNAME), and hostname (via COMPUTERNAME on Windows or the hostname command on POSIX) as form-encoded data to the hardcoded plaintext HTTP endpoint http://182.92.143.23/collect.php. The package declares packages=[] and ships no importable code implementing the advertised CLI, so the beacon is the sole install-time behavior. The destination is a bare-IP HTTP endpoint unrelated to any legitimate PyPI or vendor infrastructure, and the collected fields identify the installer's machine and account.
Installing the package or importing the module exfiltrates basic information about the host, and the package has no other purpose.
Category: PROBABLY_PENTEST - Packages looking like typical pentest packages, but also anything that looks like testing, exploring pre-prepared kits, research & co, with clearly low-harm possibilities.
Campaign: GENERIC-standard-pypi-install-pentest
Reasons (based on the campaign):
-
The package contains code to exfiltrate basic data from the system, like IP or username. It has a limited risk.
-
The package overrides the install command in setup.py to execute malicious code during installation.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for cli-anything-ai-market (2 malicious versions).
If you installed it — respond
cli-anything-ai-market 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 cli-anything-ai-market 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks cli-anything-ai-market-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
