Which versions of vtranalytic are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of vtranalytic are flagged malicious: 9.0.1, 9.0.4. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate vtranalytic if I installed it?

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

If vtranalytic 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 vtranalytic part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — vtranalytic is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-010962, IN-MAL-2026-014791 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

What this malware does

The package implements a full remote-administration toolkit controlled through a Telegram bot. It polls the Telegram Bot API at https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/... and dispatches inbound messages to handlers that execute arbitrary system commands via subprocess.run (documented in the README as a run command that executes any system command), create OS users, change sudo/RDP privileges, and upload/download arbitrary files on the host. A BotFinder routine walks /, /home, /root, /etc, /var/www, /opt, /tmp, /usr/local, and Windows drives, reading.py/.json/.conf/.cfg/.env/.ini files and regex-extracting Telegram bot tokens (pattern [0-9]+:[A-Za-z0-9_-]+) along with token/api_token/webhook context. Additional bot commands (getpasswords, getsshkeys, rdp, rdpall, findbot, getallbots) return the harvested SSH keys, saved credentials, and other operators' bot tokens back over the Telegram channel. Any host on which this package runs is fully controllable by whoever holds the bot token, and installer-side secrets are exfiltrated to that operator. Package metadata lists a placeholder author (Umar <[email protected]>) and a non-existent GitHub slug, consistent with anonymous publication of a RAT under a data-analytics-sounding name.
