What this malware does

Once run, downloads and install from sleipnirbrowser[.]org a suspicious executable pretending to be a webbrowser. This website appears to be a scam using some kind of crypto tokens, and trying to impersonate a legitimate Slepnir web browser (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleipnir_(web_browser)).

Later versions switched to install a software identified as LUMMA infostealer (e.g. https://tria.ge/240817-whze2aydkc), hidden in different executables

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

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for jupsolhelp (4 malicious versions).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    jupsolhelp 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 jupsolhelp 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. jupsolhelp on PyPI has been identified as a malicious package (versions 0.1.0, 0.1.1, 0.1.2, 0.1.3 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

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