Details
-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-
Source: kam193 (f48fad5068e7bfd86223ca6ef2fbf939ae684f2a4ae499f15f9cbe1e0cd9144d)
Packages silently decrypt content hidden in a dependency and load them as Python extension modules.
In the first wave, those are copies of legitimate aiohttp and aiohappyeyeballs packages. In the second wave, malicious packages created good-looking forks of legitimate rich and pigments packages.
Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers.
Campaign: 2025-10-asynhttp
Reasons (based on the campaign):
-
typosquatting
-
exfiltration-generic
-
obfuscation
-
clones-real-package
-
native-extension
