Source: kam193 (7f1b0b9f87631941501e2d04d9eab7f1cd7232f770812e3373b736f9e682dc2a)

Installing the package exfiltrates information about the host, including environmental variables.

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

Campaign: 2025-01-mlc-ai-nightly

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.

  • exfiltration-env-variables

  • dependency-confusion
