Source: kam193 (1641f444ea0056686d1421b67d63c1a6fd944999ed4dff175924de88f1d5182a)

Installing the package starts a reverse shell. The remote server is, however, set as a local IP, so it's most probably testing

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: 2025-03-marinff

Reasons (based on the campaign):

  • The package overrides the install command in setup.py to execute malicious code during installation.

  • obfuscation

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