The package is most likely a reconnaissance of a shared infrastructure, collecting potentially sensitive data from cloud endpoints, activated via a PTH file on every Python loading. Collected data are stored in a local filesystem, suggesting the operator has to have some degree of control of the environment.

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

Campaign: 2026-10-omeraf

Reasons (based on the campaign):

  • exfiltration-cloud-tokens

  • The package contains code to exfiltrate basic data from the system, like IP or username. It has a limited risk.

  • other

  • abuses-pth
