Summary
Malicious code in bitcommit (PyPI)
Details

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

Source: kam193 (d0e954ac7acd6af73d285edea41177ee09be01a2e14a1b4e6b195ba7e07b9515)

Packages exfiltrate the diff of the current repository. The code in "main.py" suggests it's not a real attempt to provide AI-generated commit message, but a security research attempting to leverage typosquatting.


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: 2024-08-old-bitcommit

Reasons (based on the campaign):

  • exfiltration-generic

  • typosquatting
