Which versions of sinontop-utils are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of sinontop-utils are flagged malicious: 0.3.5. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate sinontop-utils if I installed it?

sinontop-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.

I already installed sinontop-utils — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If sinontop-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.

Is sinontop-utils part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — sinontop-utils is associated with the RLMA-2025-03685, RLUA-2025-04257, 2025-07-0x9xnx, RLUA-2026-00760 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 sinontop-utils 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 sinontop-utils (version 0.3.5). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging sinontop-utils across your stack and pipelines.

MAL-2025-6586

Immediate action

Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.

pip uninstall sinontop-utils

What this malware does

Series of packages mostly with an obfuscated infostealer attempting to collect Chrome data. While discord webhook is usually set to an example, there are other, correct uploading URLs

Some of related packages only test partial malicious code, like webhooks from overwritten setup.py

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

Campaign: 2025-07-0x9xnx

Reasons (based on the campaign):

infostealer
obfuscation
exfiltration-browser-data
exfiltration-crypto
The package overrides the install command in setup.py to execute malicious code during installation.

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer

Find it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for sinontop-utils (version 0.3.5). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging sinontop-utils across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
sinontop-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 sinontop-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 sinontop-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.

Frequently asked questions

Detect & block this

O3 blocks sinontop-utils-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
