Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
pip uninstall thisismytest

What this malware does

During installation, the package downloads and runs a remote executable, which is identified as a backdoor. It connects with a remote server and executes basic commands

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

Campaign: 2026-03-thisismytest

Reasons (based on the campaign):

  • malware

  • Downloads and executes a remote executable.

  • backdoor

The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'thisismytest' @ 4.0.0 (pypi) as malicious.

It is considered malicious because:

  • The package executes one or more commands associated with malicious behavior.

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 thisismytest (5 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging thisismytest across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    thisismytest 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 thisismytest 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 thisismytest 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
