What this malware does
Malicious Typosquatting packages campaign targeting developers, steals cloud service credentials
Attack targeted at users of Alibaba, AWS and Telegram via malicious packages published to PyPI.
The malicious code was hidden in strategicly chosen functions and would only trigger when these functions were called. The malicious code does not automatically run on install or import, helping the packages evade detection.
Malicious versions
Every published version of this package is considered malicious — remove it entirely.

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