Designed to look like created by different organisations, they contain a couple of data exfiltration (including all env variables) and potential remote code execution (though the URL seems not to serve any code). Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers. Campaign: 2025-05-sl4x01 Reasons (based on the campaign): - The package contains code to exfiltrate basic data from the system, like IP or username. It has a limited risk. - exfiltration-env-variables - impersonation
