Source: kam193 (b0f8bc12f61546bde84dd1d7a64519fcdc55ce875b71f3d8d848d2d5daa2248d)
This is a copy of https://pypi.org/project/play-scraper/ with added a very questionable "telemetry": in scraper.py, L90 sends the user hostname, IP and the exact local ID of scraped application to the package author.
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-old-google-play-store
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.
-
dependency-confusion
-
action-hidden-in-lib-usage
-
clones-real-package
