Malicious code in claudeopuseni (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.

# Patch Next advisory brief: mal-2026-18299

Advisory: Malicious code in claudeopuseni (PyPI)
IDs: mal-2026-18299
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/mal-2026-18299 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 12:45 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 claudeopuseni: affected >= 0.1.0, <= 0.1.0; >= 0.1.1, <= 0.1.1

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `python -m pip show claudeopuseni`: 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 claudeopuseni.
- 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-2026-18299 (OSV record MAL-2026-18299 lists affected ranges: PyPI claudeopuseni >=0.1.0 =0.1.1 <=0.1.1)
