Malicious code in solana-web3-py (PyPI)
-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-
Malicious typosquat impersonating the legitimate Solana Python SDK (solana / solana-py) and the JS @solana/web3.js. The package ships no SDK functionality; the only behavior is credential theft. On import, init.py reads installer secrets including ~/.ssh/id_rsa, ~/.ssh/id_ed25519, ~/.aws/credentials, ~/.config/solana/id.json, /.solana/id.json, and.env files at./,../, /app/, /root/, and scrapes environment variables matching KEY/SECRET/MNEMONIC/PRIVATE/TOKEN/PASSWORD/AWS/NPM/GITHUB/SOLANA. The collected payload is POSTed to a hardcoded Telegram bot (api.telegram.org sendMessage with bot token 8870595195:... and chat_id 8346336575). On non-Windows hosts, _persist() writes /tmp/.psync containing a /.config/solana/id.json) is explicitly targeted, confirming a wallet-theft motive.@reboot sleep 90 && python3 <init> cron line and registers it via crontab -, ensuring the credential dropper re-runs on every reboot even after the package is uninstalled. The Solana wallet key path (
During import, the package exfiltrates sensitive data (credentials, SSH keys, cryptowallet's data). It also establishes persistence via a cronjob.
