Source: kam193 (1381375ccfff8dc10b3416284ac4a9a91c69bb2d5e7b652a2df24a64f4c5d512)
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.

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.
Source: ossf-package-analysis (8535b01286f7d33300d915d21bc5749c799fbac77f8bc63a9592c9e46afc1b3d)
