Closely related to 2025-07-0x9xnx - created after previous packages were quarantined, similar names, similar usage, but no clearly malicious parts. 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: 2025-07-malimalo Reasons (based on the campaign): - The package overrides the install command in setup.py to execute malicious code during installation.
