Summary: Malicious code in telebot-bot-run (PyPI)
Details: Source: amazon-inspector (95c556b9ded1648a2523210bf518dea35324c749733eabeef3268795351b1b9c) On import, telebot-bot-run 0.3 executes two attacker-controlled code paths against the installer's host. First, the top-level module fetches https://pastebin.com/raw/xAT1vudj via requests.get and passes the response body directly to exec(), running whatever Python the anonymous, mutable Pastebin URL currently serves under the installer's process. Second, the module hardcodes a Telegram bot token (8951969280:...) and auto-starts an infinity_polling thread that registers handlers /ssh, /get, /collect, /del, /make, and an upload handler. The /ssh handler runs attacker-supplied strings through subprocess.run with shell=True; /get sends any file path on the host to the Telegram chat via bot.send_document; /collect zips any directory with shutil.make_archive and uploads the archive; /start re-fetches the same Pastebin URL and pipes it into python3 as a detached background process for persistence. The package's setup.py metadata (author='fuckkkkk you 2 3 4', description='Simple Scopper Library') is consistent with the observed behavior rather than a legitimate telebot helper.
