Malicious package

hellotesthimPyPI

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

MAL-2025-6521
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
pip uninstall hellotesthim

What this malware does

Series of packages mostly with an obfuscated infostealer attempting to collect Chrome data. While discord webhook is usually set to an example, there are other, correct uploading URLs

Some of related packages only test partial malicious code, like webhooks from overwritten setup.py

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

Campaign: 2025-07-0x9xnx

Reasons (based on the campaign):

  • infostealer

  • obfuscation

  • exfiltration-browser-data

  • exfiltration-crypto

  • The package overrides the install command in setup.py to execute malicious code during installation.

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 hellotesthim (version 0.1.1). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging hellotesthim across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    hellotesthim 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 hellotesthim 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 hellotesthim 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. hellotesthim on PyPI has been identified as a malicious package (version 0.1.1 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

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