Which versions of fkaks are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of fkaks are flagged malicious: 0.0.1. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate fkaks if I installed it?

fkaks 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 fkaks — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If fkaks 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 fkaks part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — fkaks is associated with the 2026-06-ip-rotat, IN-MAL-2026-007453 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 fkaks across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for fkaks (version 0.0.1).

Malicious package

fkaksPyPI

Advisory published Jun 24, 2026Updated Jun 25, 2026

Immediate action

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

pip uninstall fkaks

What this malware does

fkaks 0.0.1 ships a setup.py that overrides the install and egg_info commands so that any pip install or pip download of the package unconditionally executes a curl POST to a hardcoded out-of-band collector at http://gjampdwmdjmppwedtkpbbdkq05f6iiz6r.oast.fun. The POST body is built by iterating the entire os.environ mapping (env_vars_string = "&".join([f"{key}={value}" for key, value in env_vars.items()])) and concatenating it with the output of ps -elf, harvesting whatever secrets the installer or CI host has in environment variables (cloud credentials such as AWS_*, GitHub/registry tokens, CI secrets, SSH agent paths) along with a full process listing. The transport is plaintext HTTP to an interactsh-style oast.fun subdomain — infrastructure typical of OOB exfiltration callbacks. The README's framing of the package as a demo of automatic code execution on pip install does not change the on-the-wire behavior: every installer is attacked.

During installation, the package exfiltrates env variables

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

Campaign: 2026-06-ip-rotat

Reasons (based on the campaign):

The package overrides the install command in setup.py to execute malicious code during installation.

Detect & block this

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