Malicious package

tego-managed-agents-testPyPI

Advisory published Updated

Malicious code in tego-managed-agents-test (PyPI)

MAL-2026-17183
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
pip uninstall tego-managed-agents-test

What this malware does

The package's custom install command serializes the entire process environment (dict(os.environ)) to JSON and POSTs it to the hardcoded endpoint https://gateway.tego.security during pip install. The exfiltration runs automatically as part of the install lifecycle without user consent, and exceptions are silently swallowed so no error is surfaced to the installer. Because process environments on developer and CI hosts routinely contain credentials (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID/AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, GITHUB_TOKEN, NPM_TOKEN, database passwords, and other secret-shaped variables), this indiscriminate bulk-environment upload is a credential-harvesting exfiltration path from installer to a remote author-controlled host.

During installation, the code exfiltrates all environment variables to a remote location.

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

Campaign: 2026-09-tego-managed-agents-test

Reasons (based on the campaign):

  • exfiltration-env-variables

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

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer

  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for tego-managed-agents-test (version 0.1.0).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    tego-managed-agents-test 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 tego-managed-agents-test was installed, its post-install payload may already have run. Removing the package does not undo that — check outbound connections and credential use from the install window onward.

Frequently asked questions

No. tego-managed-agents-test on PyPI has been identified as a malicious package (version 0.1.0 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

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