PYSEC-2026-610

Vulnerability from pysec - Published: 2026-07-01 22:08 - Updated: 2026-07-01 22:08

Details

Part of the "Hades" wave of the Shai-Hulud supply-chain campaign. On 2026-06-08, malicious phantom releases of ufish were published to PyPI using stolen credentials. The package executes a bundled JavaScript payload (via the Bun runtime) on import that harvests and exfiltrates credentials and attempts self-propagation. This entry is a summary; behavior may not be fully characterized here. See the linked references for detailed analysis and indicators of compromise.

Summary

Malicious code in ufish (PyPI)

Details

-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-

Source: kam193 (27371fa53e0e8e5e763b18b9bcadfd9b6991c720dd154d17bffeab0e7a139ef4)

Versions 0.1.2, 0.1.3 were compromised.

Compromised packages start an obfuscated infostealer. The infostealer is a heavily obfuscated JavaScript code executed using Bun runtime on Python startup. It collectes all kinds of sensitive data, including API keys, credentials to package repositories, cryptocurrency assets, password manager data. Infostealer actively queries online services to collect additional secrets as well as attempts to gain persistence and spread further by publishing infected packages using collected credentials. Data are exfiltrated likely using Github. The code seems to threaten to wipe the user's data if it detects invalid GitHub tokens. Cleanup should be done with caution.

It seems to be related to the recent Mini Shai Hulud campaign.

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

Campaign: 2026-06-compr-woodpecker

Reasons (based on the campaign):

compromised-package
exfiltration-env-variables
exfiltration-cloud-tokens
exfiltration-credentials
abuses-pth
obfuscation
infostealer
The package contains code to detect if it is running in a sandbox environment.
exfiltration-crypto
files-exfiltration
destructive-actions
