What this malware does
Importing the module exfiltrates basic information using DNS queries. There is no other purpose of the package.

Campaign: 2025-01-just-framework
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.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for djangoframework-test (version 3.3.3).
If you installed it — respond
djangoframework-test 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 djangoframework-test 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 djangoframework-test-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
