Malicious code in debug-toolbar (PyPI)
Details

Source: kam193 (57a187231b24ff90938749793a1f8f768e606a7fe5da9d2c6d74510419c14ed0)

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 (4fd3ca0609eb9f545088fbfb51cc2ac74b0fc08855df7647aa9474aa9f6c72dd)

The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'debug-toolbar' @ 0.0.1 (pypi) as malicious.

It is considered malicious because:

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