Source: kam193 (51f7e4eb8c8b82bd7c7514255d0eb51dddc657c4b06845232ad8490a514a139c)

Obfuscated code is used to hide exfiltration of basic data (hostname, etc.).

Category: PROBABLY_PENTEST - Packages looking like typical pentest packages, but also anything that looks like testing, exploring pre-prepared kits, research & co, with clearly low-harm possibilities.

Campaign: 2026-02-zabitmajeed00

Reasons (based on the campaign):

  • obfuscation

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

  • dependency-confusion
