Malicious package

tablescenePyPI

Malicious code in tablescene (PyPI) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

MAL-2026-738
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
pip uninstall tablescene

What this malware does

Packages contain hidden code that is effectively run during importing or using the library, and downloads second stage code. Then, a process running in background periodically connects to a remote host and waits for next code to execute

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

Campaign: 2025-11-spellcheckers

Reasons (based on the campaign):

  • obfuscation

  • Downloads and executes a remote malicious script.

  • The package contains code to execute remote commands (probably limited to a specific set) on the victim's machine.

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

  2. If you installed it — respond

    tablescene 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 tablescene 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 tablescene 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. tablescene on PyPI has been identified as a malicious package (versions 1.0.3, 1.0.4 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.
