Details

Source: kam193 (dea697dc03b11e99e6895070c9fa053b8db92510a03201f9545dcb25bd373199)

The only goal of the package is to execute a webhook or a suspicious file during installation.

Closely related to 2025-07-0x9xnx - created after previous packages were quarantined, similar names, similar usage, but no clearly malicious parts.

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: 2025-07-malimalo

Reasons (based on the campaign):

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

Source: ossf-package-analysis (c8969b947b2c4354b8462ee50241fa2060148bf6f9808f78a5497352a4862830)
