    Summary: Malicious code in asynhttp (PyPI)

    Details: Source: kam193 (058c3bab076ccb770a3ecaefbdb301df88bd935a79f154cdeb329c51c4a1eef5) Packages silently decrypt content hidden in a dependency and load them as Python extension modules. In the first wave, those are copies of legitimate aiohttp and aiohappyeyeballs packages. In the second wave, malicious packages created good-looking forks of legitimate rich and pigments packages. Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers. Campaign: 2025-10-asynhttp Reasons (based on the campaign): - typosquatting - exfiltration-generic - obfuscation - clones-real-package - native-extension
