Summary: Malicious code in fastgptmini (PyPI)
Details: Source: amazon-inspector (4da10d62527ca4b69f4458b6a01c77f01af42c5a1631d5cc6f207070d1ade20d) setup.py fetches an opaque file from https://tmpfiles.org/dl/wJwhUXDhUK6M/zvgfsj.txt (an anonymous, throwaway file-sharing host) during `pip install`, writes the bytes to `python.bat` in the current working directory, and executes them via `os.system("cmd /c python.bat")`. The URL is unpinned, no hash or signature verification is performed, the destination is not associated with the package publisher, and the fetched content is handed directly to a shell — a canonical install-time dropper. The package ships no real functionality (src/ contains only the egg-info directory) and uses placeholder metadata (Name/Author/Summary all set to 'FastGPTMini' with no homepage, URL, or email), consistent with a name-confusion lure targeting developers searching for FastGPT/GPT tooling. Any machine running `pip install FastGPTMini` will fetch and execute attacker-controlled code with the user's privileges.

Campaign: 2026-06-fastgptmini Reasons (based on the campaign): - Downloads and executes a remote executable. - malware - The package overrides the install command in setup.py to execute malicious code during installation. - obfuscation
