    Summary: Malicious code in badgertask (PyPI)

    Details: Source: amazon-inspector (dec1f79725a3b93471456baaf9c5b4ea9b889270fb5526070a136c1c9e06b08c) Analysis of badgertask 0.1.0 produced no findings indicating installer-side harm. No install-time or import-time network activity, credential or environment scraping, filesystem persistence outside the package's own directory, obfuscated payloads, or outbound connections to attacker-controlled destinations were observed in the shipped files. Source: kam193 (ad613b4be626131dbf5d5cdd0e6d63ca39c89165c96fe7fd152d8d781c4573ba) This campaign consists of similar loader packages, which provide executing code from a given URL. While they do not contain the malicious payload and the usage remains unknown, they are clearly a coordinated campaign to place multiple deceptive ways to load malicious code. Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers. Campaign: 2026-10-voice-synthesis-profiles Reasons (based on the campaign): - other - Downloads and executes a remote malicious script.
