Source: kam193 (a3b808e86bd3e62945973ac3b25e0f07437a3031a13b6dd2a0567eba90a63821)

During installation, the obfuscated code attempts to exfiltrate basic information about the host. There is no other purpose of the package

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: 2024-11-funkymonkeypkg

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.
