ip-rotatPyPI
Malicious code in ip-rotat (PyPI) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
What this malware does
On pip install or pip download, setup.py registers overridden install and egg_info cmdclass entries that execute ps -elf to capture the host's process listing and iterate the entire os.environ mapping into a URL-encoded body, then POST the combined payload via curl to http://gjampdwmdjmppwedtkpbbdkq05f6iiz6r.oast.fun over plaintext HTTP. Bulk env scraping at install time leaks any CI/CD secrets present in the environment (AWS keys, GitHub/npm/PyPI tokens, etc.) along with a system-wide process listing. The package ships no actual ip-rotation functionality — setup.py contains only the exfiltration payload, the package name ip_rotat is a one-character truncation of common ip-rotator-style libraries, and the README references the this_is_fine_wuzzi install-time-code-execution PoC. The combination of name confusion, zero advertised functionality, and an automatic install-time exfil hook is a supply-chain attack against any installer.
During installation, the package exfiltrates env variables
Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers.

Reasons (based on the campaign):
-
The package overrides the install command in setup.py to execute malicious code during installation.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for ip-rotat (version 0.0.1). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging ip-rotat across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
ip-rotat 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 ip-rotat 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.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks ip-rotat 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.

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