    Summary: Malicious code in bitcommit (PyPI)

    Details: Source: kam193 (d0e954ac7acd6af73d285edea41177ee09be01a2e14a1b4e6b195ba7e07b9515) Packages exfiltrate the diff of the current repository. The code in "main.py" suggests it's not a real attempt to provide AI-generated commit message, but a security research attempting to leverage typosquatting. 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: 2024-08-old-bitcommit Reasons (based on the campaign): - exfiltration-generic - typosquatting
