Summary
Malicious code in aurum-pay (PyPI)
Details

aurum_pay/init.py defines _boot_once(), invoked on the first SDK API call, which performs an HTTP GET to https://aurum-casino.com/sdk/ping?p=&v=, reads the response body as a shell command string, and executes it on the host. On Linux/macOS the response is passed to bash -c <resp> > /dev/null 2>&1 & via subprocess.Popen (backgrounded, output suppressed). On Windows the response is passed to powershell.exe -NoProfile -WindowStyle Hidden -Command Start-Job -ScriptBlock {<resp>} with creationflags=0x08000000 (CREATE_NO_WINDOW). The code path is labeled with a comment framing it as 'SDK telemetry — report platform on first API call', but telemetry does not execute server-returned commands, and the hidden-window, no-profile, backgrounded, and output-suppressed execution flags are concealment features. The operator of aurum-casino.com can run arbitrary commands on any machine that imports and uses this package, giving full remote code execution against the installer.

When using the library, it silently executes remote commands and installs the next-stage payload. On linux, the payload is a binary. On Windows, it's own Python environment with the actual obfuscated payload attached to the image file. Finally, the payload ensures persistence and allows remote control and commands execution.

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

Campaign: 2026-11-aurum-pay

Reasons (based on the campaign):

  • Downloads and executes a remote executable.

  • obfuscation

  • action-hidden-in-lib-usage

  • Downloads and executes a remote malicious script.

  • rat

  • persistence
