Summary
Malicious code in cpan (PyPI)
Details

-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-

Source: kam193 (e70433969aea3c8283f99098b25b8a598f427b5fd451e9bfd5bc46098704bfb2)

Installing the package starts a revshell and download and starts a remote script (depending on version, different malicious functionality). The name seems to imitate CPAN.org

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

Campaign: 2025-06-cpan

Reasons (based on the campaign):

  • The package contains code to create a reverse shell, allowing an attacker to execute any commands on the victim's machine.

  • impersonation

  • Downloads and executes a remote malicious script.
