Details

Source: kam193 (38f0e57a56abce42c91a97796f7aa6ae48c6e40c6737b9fd49adf1258eac61f8)

Installing the package or importing the module exfiltrates basic information about the host, and the package has no other purpose.


Category: PROBABLY_PENTEST - Packages looking like typical pentest packages, but also anything that looks like testing, exploring pre-prepared kits, research & co, with clearly low-harm possibilities.

Campaign: GENERIC-standard-pypi-install-pentest

Reasons (based on the campaign):

  • The package contains code to exfiltrate basic data from the system, like IP or username. It has a limited risk.

  • The package overrides the install command in setup.py to execute malicious code during installation.
