Which versions of telegramlite are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of telegramlite are flagged malicious: 1.0.0, 1.0.1. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate telegramlite if I installed it?

telegramlite 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 telegramlite — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If telegramlite 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.

Is telegramlite part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — telegramlite is associated with the 2026-06-telegramlite, IN-MAL-2026-009184, IN-MAL-2026-009182 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

What this malware does

No install-time, import-time, or runtime behaviors of concern were observed in this version. The package name suggests a lightweight Telegram client wrapper, but no code paths matching credential theft, exfiltration, dropper, silent-relay, or backdoor patterns were identified in the scanned files. Routing to human review for name-similarity assessment against established Telegram client libraries before publishing a verdict.

Package exfiltrates data from the Telegram application to a remote location, effectively collecting Telegram sessions.
