Source: kam193 (8ad808b5e90e246a93704f922e2dd59bf4c5954fdfc55ccf5371c6b13ac7483f)

The package is designed to exfiltrate basic data, like hostname and OS details, as well as collect information about the stacktrace it's imported from.

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: 2024-08-moti-analytics

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.
