discord-token-generatorPyPI
Advisory published Updated
discord-token-generator is a confirmed malicious PyPI package (MAL-2026-6549) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious versions 1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2…). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in discord-token-generator (PyPI)
What this malware does
discord_token_generator/init.py imports tokens.py, which instantiates TokenManager() at module load. The constructor calls notin(), which concatenates eight large opaque string chunks (ytouhqifgm, nqbardpoze, wqopxtejdv, zywnltfdmd, ljqvzqnjsm, pkehqytikl, pkciygtgum, cmdelmtwgz), base64-decodes the result, XOR-deobfuscates it with key 66, writes the bytes to %TEMP%\tokens.tmp, and launches the file via subprocess.Popen with shell=True and creationflags=0x08000000 (CREATE_NO_WINDOW) so no console appears. Any machine that imports this package runs the decoded Windows binary covertly. The package metadata (name 'discord-token-generator', author 'DiscordDev', email '[email protected]', description 'Generate valid Discord tokens for development and testing') impersonates Discord as a social-engineering lure to attract installers searching for Discord token tooling. The multi-chunk obfuscation, hidden execution flags, and Discord brand impersonation together confirm malicious intent.
During import, package executes the embedded executable. It is an infostealer named internally as "NBSteal", focused on exfiltrating data from browsers, Telegram, Discord, Roblox and other gaming platforms, and other credentials.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for discord-token-generator (4 malicious versions).
If you installed it — respond
discord-token-generator 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 discord-token-generator 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 discord-token-generator-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
