pip uninstall test-workalendar-internal

What this malware does

test-workalendar-internal 0.0.3 ships a custom Hatchling build hook that runs during pip install (sdist/wheel build). The hook downloads two standalone binaries — ttyd from github.com/tsl0922/ttyd and cloudflared from github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared — to /tmp/ttyd and /tmp/cloudflared, chmods them executable, and spawns ttyd bound to 127.0.0.1:7681 serving an interactive bash shell protected only by a generated basic-auth user/password. It then launches cloudflared tunnel --url http://127.0.0.1:7681, parses the resulting *.trycloudflare.com URL from cloudflared's stdout, and POSTs a JSON payload containing the tunnel URL, username, and password to the hardcoded collector https://webhook.site/f03cbdbe-704b-4932-a0a7-847d749c19b6. The combined effect is a fully automatic install-time remote shell on the installer's host: a remote party receives the public tunnel URL and basic-auth credentials and can interact with bash on the installer's machine. The package's declared purpose (a weekday/calendar helper) is unrelated to web terminals or tunnels.

During build, the package creates a web-sharable terminal session and exposes it via a Cloudflare tunnel to the attacker.

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

Reasons (based on the campaign):

  • backdoor

  • 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 test-workalendar-internal (3 malicious versions).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    test-workalendar-internal 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 test-workalendar-internal 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. test-workalendar-internal on PyPI has been identified as a malicious package (versions 0.0.1, 0.0.2, 0.0.3 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

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