Malicious code in friendly-greeting-tools (PyPI)

What to do

Vendor response not established. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check back for a fix.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Versions 0.1.0 through 0.3.6 of friendly-greeting-tools disguise encoded Snowflake credential and data theft routines as a hello-world demo. In versions through 0.3.5, the default run_demo payload reads the Snowflake session token, connection configuration, dbt profiles, and pip configuration, then stages encrypted copies in /workspace using a hard-coded RSA public key; every affected version also contains a payload that uses the session token with ACCOUNTADMIN to copy ROGUE.ROGUE.TEST_USERS to the hard-coded s3://pkusinski-external/ bucket. Version 0.3.6 makes the Snowflake external-storage and data-copy routine the default run_demo payload and suppresses query failures. Versions 0.3 through 0.3.6 additionally contain a payload that queries the table and builds a follow-on package containing the returned data, while the README and CLI describe the behavior only as a demo and a print-only payload. --- _-= Per source details.

# Patch Next advisory brief: mal-2026-17416

Advisory: Malicious code in friendly-greeting-tools (PyPI)
IDs: mal-2026-17416
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/mal-2026-17416 (revision 1, source checked 30 Oct 2026, 06:40 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Unrated
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor response not established. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- PyPI friendly-greeting-tools: affected >= 0.1.0, <= 0.1.0; >= 0.1.1, <= 0.1.1; >= 0.2, <= 0.2; >= 0.3, <= 0.3; >= 0.3.1, <= 0.3.1; >= 0.3.2, <= 0.3.2; >= 0.3.3, <= 0.3.3; >= 0.3.4, <= 0.3.4; >= 0.3.5, <= 0.3.5; >= 0.3.6, <= 0.3.6; >= 0.3.7, <= 0.3.7

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `python -m pip show friendly-greeting-tools`: prints the installed version. Run with the environment that serves production active.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on friendly-greeting-tools.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/MAL-2026-17416 (OSV record MAL-2026-17416 lists affected ranges: PyPI friendly-greeting-tools >=0.1.0 =0.1.1 =0.2 =0.3 =0.3.1 =0.3.2 =0.3.3 =0.3.4 =0.3.5 =0.3.6 =0.3.7 <=0.3.7)
