    Summary: Malicious code in deepface-weight (PyPI)

    Details: Source: amazon-inspector (6808b9ae619e6cf9fdb59b52305e25b8e2fdb87167fbd78fae0ca6c1c07a5f1a) On import, deepface-weight spawns a daemon background thread that polls the installer's working directory for `data/telethon_market_userbot.session` for approximately 10 minutes and POSTs the file to a hardcoded webhook.site endpoint (https://webhook.site/d6ea9c5b-4a85-4e59-9397-2bb5f9407c87). Telethon session files contain live authentication material granting full access to the associated Telegram account. The exfiltration destination is bound to a variable literally named `evil_server_url` with a Russian-language comment identifying it as the attacker's server. The package name mimics the popular `deepface` ML library but ships no machine-learning code; author metadata is a placeholder (`asdqwdasdqwdasd`) with a disposable email at playboot.com. Source: kam193 (92f87cc2da145e4ab765c912a3a9cfb36ed6e8d21231fd511aa032edcd4b3e2b) During import, package exfiltrates the sensitive file with the Telegram session token. Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers. Campaign: 2026-08-deepface-weights Reasons (based on the campaign): - files-exfiltration - target:telegram
