vtranalyticPyPI
vtranalytic is a confirmed malicious PyPI package (MAL-2026-11156) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 9.0.1). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in vtranalytic (PyPI)
What this malware does
Package implements a Telegram-bot-driven remote administration tool that gives whoever holds the configured bot token full control of the installer's host. A polling loop calls the Telegram getUpdates API and dispatches received messages as shell commands through subprocess.run (SystemAnalyzer.execute_analysis), exposing a documented run command to execute arbitrary system commands. Additional handlers (findbot/getallbots) walk the filesystem (/, /home, /root, /etc, /var/www, /opt, /usr/local, /tmp, Windows drive roots and user profile directories), read.py/.json/.conf/.cfg/.env/.ini files, and regex-extract third-party Telegram bot tokens (BOT_TOKEN, API_TOKEN, TELEGRAM_TOKEN, [0-9]+:[A-Za-z0-9_-]+), returning them to the remote operator. File and credential exfiltration handlers (getfile, getdir, findget, getsystem, getconfig, getpasswords, getsshkeys, rdpall) read arbitrary installer paths — including SSH keys and stored credentials — and upload them to the operator's Telegram chat via requests.post to api.telegram.org sendDocument. The package advertises itself as a 'Complete VPS Control System' with 168+ admin commands including user creation and firewall modification.

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 vtranalytic (version 9.0.1). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging vtranalytic across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
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.
Did it already run?
If vtranalytic 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 vtranalytic 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 vtranalytic-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
