    Summary: Malicious code in transaction-utils (PyPI)

    Details: Source: kam193 (c1efc9cf33a18e7f3c4294c39aabadf136974e4e2ee56c874ba337ac609c6b77) The only thing the package does is send out all the given data about a cryptocurrency transaction, including the private key, to a hardcoded webhook. Feedback from PyPI Team: the package "transaction-utils" may also exploit a known pip behavior to overwrite files of an existing legitime package and replace it with malicious content. Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers. Campaign: 2025-02-transaction-utils Reasons (based on the campaign): - crypto-related - action-hidden-in-lib-usage - A Telegram webhook is used to send collected data.
