Details

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

Source: kam193 (f004e2139080a087917f5cfc654423a3ed60ca232dd8a051955d6af9508b1a8f)

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 (a5f1a58740e3b28c503561dafa4697816bdb7eaa5aa04498d325e79f38ccaedc)

The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'sketchfab-spinner' @ 99.9.10 (pypi) as malicious.

It is considered malicious because:

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

  • The package executes one or more commands associated with malicious behavior.
