Source: kam193 (9640f0015404a6fff13b4e9bbb9e01d3d4f545a8ae8935dc95425a427c561576)

Generic campaign for all (likely) research / pentests, where the amount or art of collected data raises questions about the privacy, security and ethical side.


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

Campaign: GENERIC-questionable-pentest

Reasons (based on the campaign):

  • exfiltration-env-variables

  • exfiltration-generic

  • The package overrides the install command in setup.py to execute malicious code during installation.

  • typosquatting

Source: ossf-package-analysis (ede9be184ad678c156e8b6fa9edc4acb9fba416bbb0f0a67b243da2476ea8e3f)

The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'grpc-google-bigtable-v2' @ 0.11.99 (pypi) as malicious.

It is considered malicious because:

  • The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.

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