Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
pip uninstall rich-figlet

What this malware does

Malicious clone of pyfiglet. Importing the package starts a series of downloading and executing of obfuscated malicious scripts, partially identified by AVs.

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

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 rich-figlet (2 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging rich-figlet across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    rich-figlet 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 rich-figlet 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 rich-figlet 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. rich-figlet on PyPI has been identified as a malicious package (versions 0.0.1, 0.0.2 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.
