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.

It polls the Telegram Bot API at https://api.telegram.org/bot\u003ctoken\u003e/... 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 \u003cumar@example.com\u003e`) and a non-existent GitHub slug, consistent with anonymous publication of a RAT under a data-analytics-sounding name.","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 vtranalytic (PyPI)","id":"MAL-2026-11156","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":"vtranalytic","purl":"pkg:pypi/vtranalytic","source":"MAL-2026-11156"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-07-28","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-2026-11156/"}
