Which versions of hello-dynamic are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of hello-dynamic are flagged malicious: 0.1.0, 0.1.1, 0.1.2. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate hello-dynamic if I installed it?

hello-dynamic 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 hello-dynamic — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If hello-dynamic 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 hello-dynamic part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — hello-dynamic is associated with the GENERIC-standard-pypi-install-pentest, IN-MAL-2026-008865, IN-MAL-2026-008968 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 hello-dynamic across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Malicious package

hello-dynamicPyPI

Advisory published Jun 10, 2026Updated Jul 8, 2026

hello-dynamic is a confirmed malicious PyPI package (MAL-2026-5518) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious versions 0.1.0, 0.1.1, 0.1.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Immediate action

Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.

pip uninstall hello-dynamic

What this malware does

hello-dynamic 0.1.2 is a near-empty package whose init.py only defines a hello() function printing 'Hello!'. Its setup.cfg declares a dependency_links entry pointing at a webhook.site UUID endpoint (https://webhook.site/56557fe9-5bcf-4f26-bed7-38f772525011/pypi/aliga-raison). webhook.site is a generic HTTP-callback inspector commonly used to receive beacon traffic. Modern pip ignores dependency_links, so installer harm is minimal in practice, but the artifact's shape — trivial code, no real functionality, install metadata pointing at a request-inspector endpoint named after a PyPI package — is consistent with a reconnaissance probe testing which installers still process dependency_links. No exfiltration, RCE, credential read, or persistence mechanism is present in the package code.

Package attempts to test exploitation via legacy dependency_links configuration

Category: PROBABLY_PENTEST - Packages looking like typical pentest packages, but also anything that looks like testing, exploring pre-prepared kits, research & co, with clearly low-harm possibilities.

Campaign: GENERIC-standard-pypi-install-pentest

Reasons (based on the campaign):

The package contains code to exfiltrate basic data from the system, like IP or username. It has a limited risk.
The package overrides the install command in setup.py to execute malicious code during installation.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks hello-dynamic-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
