Source: kam193 (6c1f145fd51ee7737cb44e28b07d4ec3bfe53f4a8aac51d0b8bce58ef8bd71f7)

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 (005d77e3a462b260ba43bc07735bcd96e06648d7e0e9c42f16a59f41eb3910ce)

The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'cugraph-dgl' @ 23.99.0 (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.
