    Summary: Malicious code in this-is-poc-fortesting-dontinstall-12345 (PyPI)

    Details: Source: kam193 (6731f0b45ddfd51d7b4ede3181c38007a58a01e569b13d867b987cd9487ee472) 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.
