Summary
Malicious code in cryptograohy (PyPI)
Details

-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-

Source: kam193 (67095679f8af3205e005b17a996da2ba17789715d7c66e4fcf31d8c387b85c00)

The pyprettifier library has a feature to send out the user home path throuh the logger. It's attached to the init of EmojiConverter class. Other related packages utilize a typosquatting to imitate real packages, and attempts to call the EmojiConverter from pyprettifier, triggering notifying the author about the user's home path.

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: 2024-09-pyprettifier

Reasons (based on the campaign):

  • typosquatting

  • The malicious code is intentionally included in a dependency of the package

  • action-hidden-in-lib-usage

  • The package contains code to exfiltrate basic data from the system, like IP or username. It has a limited risk.

The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'cryptograohy' @ 0.5.6 (pypi) as malicious.

It is considered malicious because:

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