easyaillmPyPI
Malicious code in easyaillm (PyPI) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
What this malware does
On pip install easyaillm, setup.py runs exec(base64.b64decode(...)) which decodes to code that fetches https://pastebin.com/raw/hEF5HaFc, treats the response body as a second URL, downloads that URL's bytes to pkg_installer.exe, and executes it via os.system('cmd /c pkg_installer.exe'). The attack stages are concealed behind a base64 blob and exec() indirection, while the package metadata advertises an unrelated LLM/Roblox API purpose as cover. The pastebin source is mutable and anonymous, allowing the operator to swap the second-stage URL and ultimately the executed binary at any time. Installing this package on Windows results in arbitrary attacker-controlled code execution on the installer's machine.
During installation, the obfuscsted code attempts to download and start a malicious executable. The published versions contained issues preventing successful downloading, but it was possible to recover the intended executable during the analysis.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for easyaillm (2 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging easyaillm across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
easyaillm 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 easyaillm was ever installed, its post-install/runtime payload may have already executed. O3's L7 egress monitoring and runtime eBPF sensors detect the credential exfiltration or command-and-control callback after install and block the malicious outbound channel, so you catch and contain the actual compromise — not just the presence of the package.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks easyaillm before install through its supply-chain scanner, and if it has already run, detects and severs the exfiltration or C2 callback at runtime through L7 egress monitoring and eBPF.

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