Details

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

Source: kam193 (fdd3f3646435d9d7857a19999ffa38cdb99c04b4aa62177b1df6f2710b5412b3)

Generic campaign for all (likely) research / pentests, where the amount or art of collected data raises questions about the privacy, security and ethical side.


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

Campaign: GENERIC-questionable-pentest

Reasons (based on the campaign):

  • exfiltration-env-variables

  • exfiltration-generic

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

  • typosquatting

Source: ossf-package-analysis (7a402b93fab2d0ba3f8b49f3c4c5ec0d74b643021bb9b23ee79b819417203ff3)

The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'gwinpy' @ 9999.0.0 (pypi) as malicious.

It is considered malicious because:

  • The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.
