turbocalcngPyPI
turbocalcng is a confirmed malicious PyPI package (MAL-2026-10441) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious versions 0.1.0, 0.2.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in turbocalcng (PyPI)
What this malware does
turbocalcng/init.py imports arithmetic.py, which — beneath a facade of arithmetic helpers — contains an XOR-obfuscated in-memory native code execution path reachable at import time. A helper iReferringj(k,d) XOR-decodes byte lists into the strings 'base64', 'ctypes', 'mmap', 'threading', 'CFUNCTYPE', 'Thread', 'daemon', 'start', etc., and resolves them dynamically via getattr / import / importlib.util.spec_from_file_location to hide the dangerous imports from static review. The reachable loader allocates an RWX region with mmap.mmap(-1, size, prot=7, flags=34), writes decoded bytes into it, casts the region's address through ctypes.CFUNCTYPE and invokes it inside a daemon threading.Thread — executing attacker-supplied native code in the installer's Python process on import turbocalcng. The obfuscation of core module names alongside the RWX + function-pointer-cast + thread-start primitive is characteristic of hostile shellcode injection, not any legitimate arithmetic functionality.
During import an obfuscated code starts in-memory functions from a binary blob; after that, it communicates with dockfinancial[.]lu, the exact behaviour is unknown.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for turbocalcng (2 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging turbocalcng across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
turbocalcng 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.
Did it already run?
If turbocalcng 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.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks turbocalcng 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks turbocalcng-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
