Malicious package

utilitypyfuncPyPI

Malicious code in utilitypyfunc (PyPI) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

MAL-2025-999
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
pip uninstall utilitypyfunc

What this malware does

Importing the package starts the thread that gets and executes code from the remote server. The package description suggests a rather spam than malicious intentions.

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

Campaign: 2024-12-utilitypyfunc

Reasons (based on the campaign):

  • The package contains code to execute remote commands (probably limited to a specific set) on the victim's machine.

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 utilitypyfunc (4 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging utilitypyfunc across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    utilitypyfunc 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 utilitypyfunc 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 utilitypyfunc 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

No. utilitypyfunc on PyPI has been identified as a malicious package (versions 0.1.0, 0.3.0, 0.4.0, 0.5.0 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.
