Summary
Malicious code in txwrap (PyPI)
Details

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

Source: kam193 (72b4db77d156fffbfdf3253cda39d73180fda419676d356fdbc217130c289549)

During importing, the remote code is downloaded. It then exfiltrates cryptocurrency wallet data to a hardcoded location and places a backdoor through a new authorized SSH key. Information about the placed backdoor is sent back to the attacker, and sshd configuration is adjusted to ensure the successful remote connection.

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

Campaign: 2026-05-ninja-core-utils

Reasons (based on the campaign):

  • backdoor

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

  • obfuscation

  • crypto-related

  • exfiltration-crypto
