In this campaign, packages execute malicious code during installation. The exact behavior varies between versions: fingerprinting environment, exposing a backdoor server listening for remote commands, downloading remote commands from a hardcoded location. Next stages seem to be downloaded from localhost, what suggests the code may still be a preparation for the real attack.

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

Campaign: 2026-11-qzc

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 contains code to execute remote commands (probably limited to a specific set) on the victim's machine.

  • backdoor

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