Which versions of kmvn-ekjvnbwkhjbewv are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of kmvn-ekjvnbwkhjbewv are flagged malicious: 0.2.3, 0.2.5. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate kmvn-ekjvnbwkhjbewv if I installed it?

kmvn-ekjvnbwkhjbewv 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.

I already installed kmvn-ekjvnbwkhjbewv — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If kmvn-ekjvnbwkhjbewv 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.

Is kmvn-ekjvnbwkhjbewv part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — kmvn-ekjvnbwkhjbewv is associated with the 2024-08-byted-22.ax campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find kmvn-ekjvnbwkhjbewv across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for kmvn-ekjvnbwkhjbewv (2 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging kmvn-ekjvnbwkhjbewv across your stack and pipelines.

What this malware does

Collects basic information about the system, most probably a pentest or bug bounty.

Category: PROBABLY_PENTEST - Packages looking like typical pentest packages, but also anything that looks like testing, exploring pre-prepared kits, research & co, with clearly low-harm possibilities.

Campaign: 2024-08-byted-22.ax

Reasons (based on the campaign):

The package contains code to exfiltrate basic data from the system, like IP or username. It has a limited risk.

How O3 protects you
O3 blocks kmvn-ekjvnbwkhjbewv 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.
