Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
pip uninstall dzuseragents

What this malware does

The package downloads an executable and adds it to autostart. The downloaded application then periodically creates a screenshot and sends it to a Discord channel, as well as waits for further instructions

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

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for dzuseragents (2 malicious versions).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    dzuseragents 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If dzuseragents 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. dzuseragents on PyPI has been identified as a malicious package (versions 0.0.1, 0.0.2 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks dzuseragents-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
