Every version was published to cause harm.\n\nTask:\n1. Search this repository's dependency manifests and lockfiles for the package, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If it is present, remove it, regenerate the lockfile with the project's package manager, and replace whatever it was used for.\n3. List any CI runners, developer machines or containers that installed it, so their secrets can be rotated.\n4. If the package is not used anywhere, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-10756/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-10756/index.md)","id":"MAL-2026-10756","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-10756/index.md","name":"MAL-2026-10756","record":{"aliases":[],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"darkglitch ships a remote-access agent that connects to the hardcoded signaling host wss://malware-signal.vercel.app on room D4RKGLI7CH and executes `remote-command` messages via subprocess.run(command, shell=True), returning stdout/stderr to the remote peer. Authentication on the channel is limited to knowledge of the hardcoded room id, so any party who reaches the signaling server can run arbitrary shell commands on the host. transfer.py extends this channel with `file-transfer` frames that base64-encode arbitrary files for download and write attacker-supplied bytes to arbitrary paths for upload, using a python3 heredoc executed through the same shell path. setup_windows.py (exposed as the `darkglitch-setup` script and the `install_windows` distutils command) writes a batch file into %APPDATA%\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Startup that runs `python -m darkglitch -l -b` at every user login, making the remote-command listener boot-persistent. The internal module tree is named `app/malware_signal/`, the connection banner prints 'CONNECTING TO MALWARE SIGNAL BASH', and the control host is registered under `malware-signal.vercel.app` — an explicit malware framing rather than a covert one.","ecosystems":["PyPI"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":null,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":null,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":null,"nuclei":null,"refs":[],"tier":null},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Malicious code in darkglitch (PyPI)","id":"MAL-2026-10756","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"malicious","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":null,"products":[],"type":null,"year":"2026"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":null,"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":[],"introduced":[],"last_affected":[],"package":"darkglitch","purl":"pkg:pypi/darkglitch","source":"MAL-2026-10756"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-07-16","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"Apache-2.0","name":"OpenSSF Malicious Packages","prefix":"MAL"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":null,"updated":null,"vendors":null},"summary":null,"url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-10756/"}
