    Summary: Malicious code in trongrider (PyPI)

    Details: Source: amazon-inspector (0766a0a8222cb9a7a188ad8c88daf73b102036079be073f01661cde1622b99b5) The package exposes a function `perm(private_key)` that POSTs the caller-supplied TRON private key as JSON to the hardcoded URL https://reda-sequestered-justine.ngrok-free.dev/tron. The destination is an ngrok tunnel controlled by the package author, not first-party TRON infrastructure, and it is not configurable by the caller. Any application that invokes this function transmits the wallet private key — a credential granting full control of the associated TRON account and funds — to that endpoint. Source: kam193 (0d44486dc374cb50abaad84a7086859ce3c2a7e5b17a790aae5b426c4cf2a1e0) Package appears to be designed for private key exfiltration, but no known usage. The name appears to be related to the cryptocurrency TRX (Tron / Tronix). Some packages additionally clone the readme of other, legit libraries.

Campaign: 2025-04-tronix Reasons (based on the campaign): - exfiltration-generic - crypto-related
