Which versions of glass-of-water are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of glass-of-water are flagged malicious: 1.0.1, 1.0.3. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate glass-of-water if I installed it?

glass-of-water 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 glass-of-water — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If glass-of-water 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 glass-of-water part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — glass-of-water is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-003283, IN-MAL-2026-003282 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

What this malware does

glass_of_water/init.py embeds 10 Google Gemini API keys (AIzaSy...) split across 5-part dictionaries and reassembled at runtime by _get_api_key() (L6-19). The split-and-reassemble pattern is a deliberate evasion of registry/secret scanners. The exported water(prompt,...) function unconditionally instantiates genai.Client(api_key=api_key) and calls client.models.generate_content(model='gemini-flash-latest', contents=system_instruction + prompt) (L36-41) — there is no env-var override or opt-in path for caller-supplied credentials. Two installer-relevant harms result: (1) live third-party credentials are redistributed to every installer, who can extract and abuse them against Google's Gemini API; (2) any caller of water() silently routes their prompt content to a Google project owned by the author, where it is billed and logged under the author's account. Author metadata is placeholder (Your Name <[email protected]>) and the description is generic, consistent with a low-effort publish rather than a maintained utility.
