Details

Source: kam193 (67095679f8af3205e005b17a996da2ba17789715d7c66e4fcf31d8c387b85c00)
The pyprettifier library has a feature to send out the user home path throuh the logger. It's attached to the init of EmojiConverter class. Other related packages utilize a typosquatting to imitate real packages, and attempts to call the EmojiConverter from pyprettifier, triggering notifying the author about the user's home path.
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: 2024-09-pyprettifier
Reasons (based on the campaign):
-
typosquatting
-
The malicious code is intentionally included in a dependency of the package
-
action-hidden-in-lib-usage
-
The package contains code to exfiltrate basic data from the system, like IP or username. It has a limited risk.
