Summary
Malicious code in filecraft (PyPI)
Details

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

Source: kam193 (3d0eec02526b659b5e856c211e05be1842dc283ed0b7d07dc90574ea5c7dc34a)

During the installation, the package iterates its files and attempts to import a hidden module - which is embedded as ZIP archive in the image file

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

Campaign: 2024-12-handyfiles

Reasons (based on the campaign):

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

  • obfuscation
