Summary
Malicious code in process-support (PyPI)
Details

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

Source: kam193 (564d7058c3676bb4be00515c1503be2d5239e3c45b301d4e478ee66dc8748c24)

During import, the package automatically starts code acting as a RAT. It connects with a hardcoded C2 server and waits for commands, supporting e.g. executing remote commands, exfiltrating files, recording the screen, executing GUI actions through PyAutoGUI.

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

Campaign: 2026-04-process-support

Reasons (based on the campaign):

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

  • rat

  • exfiltration-generic

  • spyware-like
