Which versions of extra-huggingface are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of extra-huggingface are flagged malicious: 0.4.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate extra-huggingface if I installed it?

extra-huggingface 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 extra-huggingface — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If extra-huggingface 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.

Is extra-huggingface part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — extra-huggingface is associated with the 2026-06-extra-huggingface 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 extra-huggingface across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for extra-huggingface (version 0.4.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging extra-huggingface across your stack and pipelines.

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

pip uninstall extra-huggingface

What this malware does

When starting the module, package activates RAT-capabilities, which includes exfiltrating sensitive data. Though the package is claimed to be for educational usage, the name and default actions suggest different intentions.

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

Find it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for extra-huggingface (version 0.4.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging extra-huggingface across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
extra-huggingface 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 extra-huggingface 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 extra-huggingface 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.

Frequently asked questions

Detect & block this

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