Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
pip uninstall httpserver-cache

What this malware does

Packages silently decrypt content hidden in a dependency and load them as Python extension modules.

In the first wave, those are copies of legitimate aiohttp and aiohappyeyeballs packages. In the second wave, malicious packages created good-looking forks of legitimate rich and pigments packages.

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 httpserver-cache (2 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging httpserver-cache across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    httpserver-cache 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 httpserver-cache 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 httpserver-cache 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. httpserver-cache on PyPI has been identified as a malicious package (versions 3.13.1, 3.14.0 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

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