What this malware does

python-walletlibr-v is a wallet-lookalike PyPI package that ships no wallet functionality — only a stub hello() that prints 'Hello from my custom library!' and placeholder author metadata (author = 'Your Name'). Its setup.py registers a CustomInstall command that, on Windows at pip install time, writes a.bat file into %TEMP%, spawns a new cmd.exe console to execute it via subprocess.Popen(['cmd.exe','/k', bat_path], CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE), and calls os.system('calc'). Arbitrary local command execution fires automatically during pip install on Windows hosts, unrelated to any advertised functionality.

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for python-walletlibr-v (version 0.7.9). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging python-walletlibr-v across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    python-walletlibr-v 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 python-walletlibr-v 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks python-walletlibr-v 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.
