Which versions of enchantv are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of enchantv are flagged malicious: 1.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate enchantv if I installed it?

enchantv 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.

I already installed enchantv — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If enchantv 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.

Is enchantv part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — enchantv is associated with the 2023-12-valuent campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find enchantv across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for enchantv (version 1.0.0).

What this malware does

Packages either test the malicious behaviour, or actually download and run a simple remote script during the installation.

Category: PROBABLY_PENTEST - Packages looking like typical pentest packages, but also anything that looks like testing, exploring pre-prepared kits, research & co, with clearly low-harm possibilities.

Campaign: 2023-12-valuent

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.
The package overrides the install command in setup.py to execute malicious code during installation.
Downloads and executes a remote malicious script.

The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'enchantv' @ 1.0.0 (pypi) as malicious.

It is considered malicious because:

The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.
The package executes one or more commands associated with malicious behavior.

Detect & block this

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