Source: kam193 (d085ff0850c519ea81f21c8be37968a923d4d162e126c3ded06c482b7bdadd36)

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.

Source: ossf-package-analysis (482493bb0425cda1267f50c860740681a8c0e91958623ed8d949b9db65b2e4a9)

The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified '123bla' @ 0.0.1 (pypi) as malicious.

It is considered malicious because:

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