Source: kam193 (d9c0dbfcd94c11b086cf83f69796c321829bdd64c2ebe53d8f74a72d46e465b0)
Importing the module triggers sending out the hostname to the package author. It looks to be a placeholder/pentest activity related to BytedDance.
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: 2024-11-0wn-sh
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.
