Details

Source: kam193 (c25b081dd711bcb5076c5fbd0ea034850b8e428fed345d93e60036e0e91c9f66)

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.
