Which versions of hardixx-code are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of hardixx-code are flagged malicious: 1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3, 1.0.4, 1.0.5. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate hardixx-code if I installed it?

hardixx-code 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 hardixx-code — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If hardixx-code 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 hardixx-code part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — hardixx-code is associated with the 2026-02-hardixx-code 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 hardixx-code across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for hardixx-code (6 malicious versions).

What this malware does

Version 1.0.2 introduced loading obfuscated code during importing the module. However, distributions uploaded to PyPI lack the necessary file storing the code. It may either be a packaging issue or the dangerous content is supposed to be delivered via another channel to selected targets.

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