Summary
Malicious code in discconnect (PyPI)
Details

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

Source: kam193 (cd96a216a1790b73568af638b97003c7abd1f502c962137cd1084fb48ebcca64)

During installation, a remote, obfuscated executable is downloaded and started. The executable at least disables automated updates, malware protection and other security mechanisms.

Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers.

Campaign: 2024-11-discconnect

Reasons (based on the campaign):

  • typosquatting

  • The package overrides the install command in setup.py to execute malicious code during installation.

  • Downloads and executes a remote executable.

  • modify-system-without-consent
