Summary
Malicious code in program-admin (PyPI)
Details

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

Source: kam193 (79810d0cd56c8a3266dcbe5827dd3d27eb976b353c7b17940a29dddc602df4f7)

Packages that seem to be created by a legit bug bounty hunter. Designed to look like created by different organisations, they contain a couple of data exfiltration (including all env variables) and potential remote code execution (though the URL seems not to serve any code).


Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers.

Campaign: 2025-05-sl4x01

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.

  • exfiltration-env-variables

  • impersonation

Source: ossf-package-analysis (21aafd5a731c66af3cff57a98bb892d950cddfafcd204ecc3e41c0a0f3de3864)

The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'program-admin' @ 0.0.1 (pypi) as malicious.

It is considered malicious because:

  • The package executes one or more commands associated with malicious behavior.
