MAL-2026-16212

Summary: Malicious code in cli-anything-ai-market (PyPI)

Details: Source: amazon-inspector (c5319f74a06670d40b020831dae38da696aa966dc1fdfde45063abb0024df922) setup.py runs automatically during `pip install` and POSTs the installer's OS, username (USER/USERNAME), and hostname (via COMPUTERNAME on Windows or the `hostname` command on POSIX) as form-encoded data to the hardcoded plaintext HTTP endpoint http://182.92.143.23/collect.php. The package declares `packages=[]` and ships no importable code implementing the advertised CLI, so the beacon is the sole install-time behavior. The destination is a bare-IP HTTP endpoint unrelated to any legitimate PyPI or vendor infrastructure, and the collected fields identify the installer's machine and account.

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: GENERIC-standard-pypi-install-pentest 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. - The package overrides the install command in setup.py to execute malicious code during installation.
