    Summary: Malicious code in color-list (PyPI)

    Details: Source: kam193 (86ffbba2d1825f76d4c2baa6a8b7ecbe85514239934a3d7903745d17d4baf704) Malicious code hidden in the color-list package uses the presence of pretty-tabulate as a trigger to load code hidden in likely a third malicious package. Packages were published simultaneously by two accounts not used for about a year, suggesting hijacked access. Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers. Campaign: 2026-03-color-list Reasons (based on the campaign): - The malicious code is intentionally included in a dependency of the package - obfuscation
