Source: kam193 (f578b605e73b68aae8c1d8a9bd3f55b810839b2bccd720bccc7f887c2e0046c8)

Packages either test the malicious behaviour, or actually download and run a simple remote script during the installation.

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: 2023-12-valuent

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.

  • Downloads and executes a remote malicious script.

Source: ossf-package-analysis (cd0a61ade3d3a9bb9b83668fad7ee8a45f0bfe95bc9cc98270bcd15b615d875e)

The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'enchantv' @ 1.0.0 (pypi) as malicious.

It is considered malicious because:

  • The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.

  • The package executes one or more commands associated with malicious behavior.
