Summary
Malicious code in color-list (PyPI)
Details

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

Source: kam193 (86ffbba2d1825f76d4c2baa6a8b7ecbe85514239934a3d7903745d17d4baf704)

Malicious code hidden in the color-list package uses the presence of pretty-tabulate as a trigger to load code hidden in likely a third malicious package. Packages were published simultaneously by two accounts not used for about a year, suggesting hijacked access.

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

Campaign: 2026-03-color-list

Reasons (based on the campaign):

  • The malicious code is intentionally included in a dependency of the package

  • obfuscation
