Source: kam193 (56e2adbf4dfb01600fc7df2c4a270d862b1b575c7040142ae070c7bf990d671e)

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 (0202389971fffa3954690cc01ec76374424a1edd87f08ee6f80999f756cb13f6)

The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'some-random-package-33' @ 2.3.100 (pypi) as malicious.

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

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