Malicious code in mylib-utils (PyPI)
Details

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

Source: kam193 (8cc746751844570c4d9de0acc1fc4aba45c1316434c664fc70711749720f88f1)

During import, a remote executable is automatically started. During analysis, the executable only showed a basic message. It's likely experimenting with malicious techniques to prepare for real malicious action.


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

Campaign: 2026-04-mylib-utils

Reasons (based on the campaign):

  • Downloads and executes a remote executable.

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