Details

Source: kam193 (03e7420ebe17c5b3feef69b274c7b6e57ed2e6913e19a561d7040e3b48e041a2)

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 (d80eb997ae6841c572c88837dc6e194e2e20a5d12b31476f919b29f3b5931788)

The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'puffioner131' @ 999999991 (pypi) as malicious.

It is considered malicious because:

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