This is a pickle executing os.system(id), which of course isn\u0027t executed by json.loads, but would be by pickle. Also: action is suspicious, not really malicious, but the package is a clear typosquatting attempt.\n\n\n---\n\nCategory: PROBABLY_PENTEST - Packages looking like typical pentest packages, but also anything that looks like testing, exploring pre-prepared kits, research \u0026 co, with clearly low-harm possibilities.\n\n\nCampaign: 2024-10-old-fake-usreagant\n\n\nReasons (based on the campaign):\n\n\n - action-hidden-in-lib-usage\n\n\n - clones-real-package\n\n\n - typosquatting\n\n\n - dependency-confusion\n",
