Source: kam193 (556e14c71baa5758239b80d9333f83a0369b1169e63b027c50d633b97475136c)

Package uses the template from https://github.com/thegoodhackertv/malpip to explore building malicious PyPI packages.

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

Campaign: SCRIPT_KIDDIE-thegoodhacker-paquete

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.

  • Package uses simple pre-prepared tools to create a low-quality malicious action.
