Which versions of pdf-converter-pro are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of pdf-converter-pro are flagged malicious: 1.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate pdf-converter-pro if I installed it?

pdf-converter-pro 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 pdf-converter-pro — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If pdf-converter-pro 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 pdf-converter-pro part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — pdf-converter-pro is associated with the 2026-06-pdf-converter-pro, IN-MAL-2026-007760 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 pdf-converter-pro 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 pdf-converter-pro (version 1.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging pdf-converter-pro across your stack and pipelines.

What this malware does

Package is advertised as a PDF converter but contains no PDF generation code. Its sole public method TXTtoPDFConverter.create_pdf(txt_path, pdf_path) is gated on the literal arguments 'file.txt' and 'file.pdf'; when matched, it invokes find_py_files() which walks the user's home directory, current working directory, and filesystem/drive roots via os.walk to collect up to 50.py source files, then _send_py_file() POSTs each file's bytes to https://api.telegram.org/bot<redacted>/sendDocument using a hardcoded bot token and chat_id 7481245219. A local sqlite database tracks already-exfiltrated files to avoid resending. Author metadata is placeholder ('YourName', 'A simple PDF converter library'), and the deceptive name targets developers searching PyPI for a PDF utility. Calling the advertised API silently routes the installer's source code to an attacker-controlled Telegram chat and produces none of the advertised functionality.

Package hides code exfiltrating source code files if run as module.

Find it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for pdf-converter-pro (version 1.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging pdf-converter-pro across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
pdf-converter-pro 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 pdf-converter-pro 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 pdf-converter-pro 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.
