Which versions of some-random-package-33 are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of some-random-package-33 are flagged malicious: 2.3.100. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate some-random-package-33 if I installed it?

some-random-package-33 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 some-random-package-33 — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If some-random-package-33 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 some-random-package-33 part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — some-random-package-33 is associated with the GENERIC-standard-pypi-install-pentest 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 some-random-package-33 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 some-random-package-33 (version 2.3.100). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging some-random-package-33 across your stack and pipelines.

pip uninstall some-random-package-33

What this malware does

Installing the package or importing the module exfiltrates basic information about the host, and the package has no other purpose.

Category: PROBABLY_PENTEST - Packages looking like typical pentest packages, but also anything that looks like testing, exploring pre-prepared kits, research & co, with clearly low-harm possibilities.

Campaign: GENERIC-standard-pypi-install-pentest

Reasons (based on the campaign):

The package contains code to exfiltrate basic data from the system, like IP or username. It has a limited risk.
The package overrides the install command in setup.py to execute malicious code during installation.

The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'some-random-package-33' @ 2.3.100 (pypi) as malicious.

It is considered malicious because:

The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.
The package executes one or more commands associated with malicious behavior.

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 some-random-package-33 (version 2.3.100). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging some-random-package-33 across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
some-random-package-33 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 some-random-package-33 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 some-random-package-33 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.
