pokee-data-utilsPyPI
pokee-data-utils is a confirmed malicious PyPI package (MAL-2026-10547) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.0.1). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in pokee-data-utils (PyPI)
What this malware does
The package performs credential and environment harvesting at both install time and import time. setup.py installs a PostInstall cmdclass that, during pip install, reads internal host files (/sandbox-app/ws_proxy.py, /sandbox-app/ws_proxy_modules/session_store.py, /proc/self/cmdline), enumerates all environment variable names, prints the collected data to stdout, and writes /tmp/sc_critical_poc.json. On import pokee_poc, init.py reads the first 25 characters of ANTHROPIC_API_KEY from the environment, enumerates all env var names, reads files under /sandbox-app/, lists session metadata under FILESTORE_WORKSPACE_DIR/.sessions, runs ps aux, reads /proc/net/fib_trie, then writes the aggregated dump to <workspace>/SC_POC_PROOF.txt and /tmp/sc_poc.json and prints it to stdout. The package self-labels '[SUPPLY CHAIN POC — FULL IMPACT]', has placeholder metadata, and contains no legitimate utility code. In a multi-tenant agent sandbox the workspace-visible proof file and stdout banner expose partial provider credentials and internal host source to any party with read access to the workspace.

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 pokee-data-utils (version 1.0.1). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging pokee-data-utils across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
pokee-data-utils 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 pokee-data-utils 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 pokee-data-utils 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.
