    Details: Source: amazon-inspector (cc5ec2368bccc13ec6d3f5b028449a5dffe0cf88b1796271052e9e3c97145b4e) driftwavets 0.1.0 contains no observed install-time or import-time code paths that read installer secrets, fetch and execute remote content, relay caller data to a third-party destination, or establish persistence. No lifecycle hooks, build-backend network I/O,.pth side effects, or credential/env scraping were identified in the package contents. Source: kam193 (e69baa6a16626f26b6f71e04ce89a53a693a06c6545446a9addbecfd6c95d92f) The package belongs to a series of packages falsely advertising 'audio-analysis profiles' loader. In fact, the only purpose is to execute remote code, but the URL is not embedded in the package. It is likely a continuation of the coin-mining campaign 2026-10-voxeval which used similar wording. Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers. Campaign: 2026-10-emberlytts Reasons (based on the campaign): - other - Downloads and executes a remote malicious script.
