Details
-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-
Source: kam193 (895439e6afba407fb85d315e2c99f0d1434905a1ee72b172e62d55abbb8c93a3)
During installation, the package starts obfuscated code that downloads and runs remote executables in specific environments - in older packages - attempts to exfiltrate some basic information using DNS requests and then likely cover tracks by installing a similarly named package from private repository
Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers.
Campaign: 2026-02-urllib-slim
Reasons (based on the campaign):
-
typosquatting
-
Downloads and executes a remote executable.
-
obfuscation
-
dependency-confusion
