    Summary: Malicious code in pyprettifier (PyPI)

    Details: Source: kam193 (52228ec641ddc958a8048619d93a51b762697ab133afc13ec13c01d24b120467) The pyprettifier library has a feature to send out the user home path throuh the logger. It's attached to the __init__ of EmojiConverter class. Other related packages utilize a typosquatting to imitate real packages, and attempts to call the EmojiConverter from pyprettifier, triggering notifying the author about the user's home path. 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: 2024-09-pyprettifier Reasons (based on the campaign): - typosquatting - The malicious code is intentionally included in a dependency of the package - action-hidden-in-lib-usage - The package contains code to exfiltrate basic data from the system, like IP or username. It has a limited risk.
