Source: kam193 (b4fca245262ff8de532efc88e1941697e6994786e09eca8a9cbcdbf9faff5cca)

Packages that seem to be created by a legit bug bounty hunter. Designed to look like created by different organisations, they contain a couple of data exfiltration (including all env variables) and potential remote code execution (though the URL seems not to serve any code).

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

Campaign: 2025-05-sl4x01

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.

  • exfiltration-env-variables

  • impersonation
