Source: kam193 (5ff0b643e9e96817244b6499fdbcfd26b6c26cf366980909a6461e4c15b389fd)

Installing the package or importing the module exfiltrates basic information about the host, and the package has no other purpose.


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: GENERIC-standard-pypi-install-pentest

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.

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

Source: ossf-package-analysis (33ee15b02a40b0347b3656c4b4fe15fc454e8a181e91fd89f6639fb805a4bb90)

The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'cicd-ppe-redteam-test01' @ 1.0.0 (pypi) as malicious.

It is considered malicious because:

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