Source: kam193 (95f15b2b497431703ff51667a4055e8172f9202aeeea0f725b0b0550812f3299)

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

Campaign: 2025-07-talbat

Reasons (based on the campaign):

  • The package contains code to execute remote commands (probably limited to a specific set) on the victim's machine.

  • The package contains code to create a reverse shell, allowing an attacker to execute any commands on the victim's machine.
