infogram-botPyPI
Advisory published Updated
infogram-bot is a confirmed malicious PyPI package (MAL-2026-14131) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious versions 1.0.0, 1.2.0, 1.2.1…). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in infogram-bot (PyPI)
What this malware does
[email protected] implements a Telegram bot that accepts text messages from remote parties and passes them directly to subprocess.check_output(cmd, shell=True,...) on the host running the package, giving any authorized Telegram user (and, for the.sh command, any member of a group chat) arbitrary shell command execution with the privileges of the process. Additional handlers expose 'get all' (walks the working directory, zips it, and uploads all files in 50MB chunks via reply_document), 'take <file>' / 'tk a' (streams any requested file or all files under the cwd back to the Telegram chat), '.printenv' (iterates os.environ and sends every environment variable value to the chat), and '.grep' (greps environment values and files for arbitrary substrings and returns matches). Together these provide a full remote-shell backdoor plus a data-exfiltration channel to a destination the host owner did not configure at runtime. pyproject.toml also ships placeholder maintainer metadata (author 'Aapka Naam' / [email protected], Homepage containing the literal 'YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME'), consistent with low-attribution publication.
The package provides Telegram-based remote access to the machine it runs on. It was deliberately created and used to hack other machines, exfiltrate files and credentials.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for infogram-bot (11 malicious versions).
If you installed it — respond
infogram-bot 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.
Did it already run?
If infogram-bot 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks infogram-bot-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
