Which versions of dynamo-release are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of dynamo-release are flagged malicious: 1.5.4. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate dynamo-release if I installed it?

Remove dynamo-release from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound network activity or persistence. Use O3 Security's dependency scanner to confirm the package and its artifacts are fully purged across your stack.

Is dynamo-release part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — dynamo-release is associated with the 2026-06-compr-woodpecker campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

Can O3 Security detect dynamo-release in my codebase?

Yes. O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, blocking dynamo-release and packages like it before any post-install script runs.

Immediate action

Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.

pip uninstall dynamo-release

What this malware does

Versions 1.5.4 were compromised.

Compromised packages start an obfuscated infostealer. The infostealer is a heavily obfuscated JavaScript code executed using Bun runtime on Python startup. It collectes all kinds of sensitive data, including API keys, credentials to package repositories, cryptocurrency assets, password manager data. Infostealer actively queries online services to collect additional secrets as well as attempts to gain persistence and spread further by publishing infected packages using collected credentials. Data are exfiltrated likely using Github. The code seems to threaten to wipe the user's data if it detects invalid GitHub tokens. Cleanup should be done with caution.

It seems to be related to the recent Mini Shai Hulud campaign.

Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers.
