Details

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

Source: kam193 (f2e6ce1118208c6647ef6e3c175235b92ee242cf0cc068281c4ae630da662c7b)

Package exploits dependency confusion. A beacon request is used to report usage back, but no additional information are exfiltrated.

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-beacon-dependency-confusion

Reasons (based on the campaign):

  • typosquatting

  • dependency-confusion
