Which versions of hashstation are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of hashstation are flagged malicious: 0.1.1. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate hashstation if I installed it?

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

If hashstation 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 hashstation part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — hashstation is associated with the 2025-08-kertash 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 hashstation across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for hashstation (version 0.1.1).

What this malware does

When using methods from the package, it downloads an obfuscated code from Github and puts it in multiple localisation. While it appears that this code is used to perform action user requested, deobfuscation reveals exfiltrating user's data instead.
