graddioPyPI
Malicious code in graddio (PyPI) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
What this malware does
During installation, package exfiltrates some basic info to a GitHub issue comment, and then attempt to set up a persistent infostealer focused on exfiltrating crypto wallets and browsers data. Likely continuation of 2026-05-py-requests
Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers.
Campaign: 2025-06-alembic-util
Reasons (based on the campaign):
-
infostealer
-
The package overrides the install command in setup.py to execute malicious code during installation.
-
crypto-related
-
Downloads and executes a remote malicious script.
-
exfiltration-browser-data
-
exfiltration-crypto
-
persistence
-

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for graddio (version 0.226.51). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging graddio across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
graddio 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 graddio 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 graddio 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.

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