Malicious code in hardixx-code (PyPI) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

MAL-2026-812
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
pip uninstall hardixx-code

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.

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for hardixx-code (6 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging hardixx-code across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If hardixx-code 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks hardixx-code 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

No. hardixx-code on PyPI has been identified as a malicious package (versions 1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3, 1.0.4, 1.0.5 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.
