Summary
Malicious code in skillspector (PyPI)
Details

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

Source: kam193 (3c5f440b1893b0d6aad59302e3cef3c14e1ae5b51b83144474e8126b3d2f9075)

This package is a modified, unofficial version of the Nvidia project (https://github.com/NVIDIA/skillspector). The modification is disguised as telemetry. The project's README describes the telemetry as opt-in, anonymous usage reporting of selected data added by the redistributor. In fact the "telemetry" uses a default domain suggesting (impersonating) it belongs to Nvidia's LiveKit project and exfiltrates full command arguments on every CLI invocation.

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

Campaign: 2026-06-skillspector

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.

  • exfiltration-generic

  • dependency-confusion

  • clones-real-package
