    Summary: Malicious code in shoots-api-test (PyPI)

    Details: Source: kam193 (78ebd73df4ce754b9e3a33af932d2b686a05716f83ccf3d7dd99029e73713acc) Importing the module triggers sending out the hostname to the package author. It looks to be a placeholder/pentest activity related to BytedDance. 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: 2024-11-0wn-sh 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.
