Malicious code in robase-api (PyPI) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

MAL-2026-2699
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
pip uninstall robase-api

What this malware does

During installation package downloads and runs a malicious executable. Likely continuation of 2026-03-rowrap.

The campaign is built over a malicious Roblox API wrapper. The roboat[.]pro (later robase[.]app) domain advertises a wrapper that is either directly malicious (as roboat collected in the campaign 2026-03-rowrap) or uses a malicious dependencies (like roboat-utils). New versions are published simultaneously with malicious dependencies and quickly removed. Another advertisement channel is https://github.com/Addi9000/roboat referencing two active contributors: https://github.com/Addi9000 and https://github.com/RoCruise

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

Campaign: 2026-03-roboat-addition

Reasons (based on the campaign):

  • The package overrides the install command in setup.py to execute malicious code during installation.

  • Downloads and executes a remote executable.

  • The malicious code is intentionally included in a dependency of the package

  • malware

  • clones-real-package

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

  2. If you installed it — respond

    robase-api 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 robase-api 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 robase-api 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. robase-api on PyPI has been identified as a malicious package (versions 2.4.0, 2.6.0 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.
