    Summary: Malicious code in netmanagement (PyPI)

    Details: Source: kam193 (9af8bc10bc4f751ad03dbe8257d2d8c49941accbf8b8fe6149d17a457fc56811) The package appears to be a PoC of overwriting "requests" package files. The new "requests/__init__.py" takes over common requests features and uses the implementation that a) logs every request to a file (but no external exfiltration, this may also be expected in some situations); b) after every 5 requests, opens the calculator app. The second shows clearly that the intention is to present a security risk, not create a real package. 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: 2025-08-netmanagement Reasons (based on the campaign): - action-hidden-in-lib-usage - other
