# MAL-2026-4749: Malicious code in fakehuop (PyPI)

## What is MAL-2026-4749?

MAL-2026-4749 is a malicious package in fakehuop, published on 21 May 2026. 

### Official description

Every advertised function in this package (ask_llm, pink, america, iran, momo, abc, bcd, code, sf, liti, koko, init, dropnull, hellp, lc) instantiates a Groq client using a hardcoded `gsk_...` API key owned by the package author and forwards the caller-supplied `prompt` argument to api.groq.com via `client.chat.completions.create`. Callers cannot supply their own key; the public API has no parameter or env-var override. As a result, any prompt content passed into these functions — which may contain proprietary data, customer input, or secrets — is routed through the author's Groq account, where the author can read it via their dashboard. 17 distinct hardcoded Groq keys are shipped across ai_helper.py, abc.py, america.py, bcd.py, code.py, dropnull.py, hellp.py, init.py, iran.py, koko.py, lc.py, liti.py, momo.py, pink.py, and sf.py. The package metadata reinforces the assessment: README references an unrelated `sample_package` with `add`/`greet` examples that don't exist in the source, the package and module names are nonsensical, and there is no documented legitimate purpose for the relay.

## What should I do about MAL-2026-4749?

Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
