Source: kam193 (9d4143f13c89e66e8f5b2c0905a57d6d25f6d02d46b62aef3e58d4b1f2dda697)

Setup.py attempts to exfiltrate information about the system and span a reverse shell

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

Campaign: 2025-03-wiki-requests

Reasons (based on the campaign):

  • exfiltration-generic

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