These packages are used as build dependencies of malicious packages in newer waves of the campaign 2026-02-urllib-slim. They are used to split the malicious action between dependencies and are not malicious alone, but are used together to: exfiltrate information through DNS, collect information about the processes and covering tracks by installing packages from local private repositories.
Package nspack additionally notifies upon importing a domain known for malicious activity with the package and hostname.
Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers.
Campaign: 2026-03-geekennedy
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 malicious code is intentionally included in a dependency of the package
