Which versions of turbom are malicious?

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

How do I remediate turbom if I installed it?

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

If turbom 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 turbom part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — turbom is associated with the 2026-07-oxntime campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find turbom across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for turbom (2 malicious versions).

Immediate action

Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.

pip uninstall turbom

What this malware does

Starting version 1.0.1, the package contains obfuscated code and embedded binary that is executed during the import, sharing many similarities with package oxntime. The embedded seems to act as a guard for further execution, with some sandbox evasion techniques and time-based actions.

Prior to 1.0.1, the package offered obfuscation techniques.

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

Detect & block this

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