Summary: Malicious code in twrap-toolkit (PyPI)

Details: Source: amazon-inspector (174cba09d5ec9724bd55871c7f74c27ff8592bf55c06464204e0591667377259) twrap_toolkit/__init__.py defines _get_payload() which issues a plaintext HTTP request to http://194.5.152.9:8080/hacks/textwrap-toolkit/textwrap_toolkit/__init__.py and passes the response body to exec() inside the package's only public API surface (format_block() and align_columns()). Any caller of the documented API executes attacker-controlled Python with no TLS, no pinning, and no integrity check, granting full remote code execution to the operator of 194.5.152.9. The package name and the attacker-controlled URL path both impersonate the legitimate 'textwrap-toolkit' utility, indicating a typosquat designed to lure installations into the dropper. Installing this package and invoking its advertised functions yields arbitrary code execution as the calling user.

The code then adds a new authorized SSH key and reports back the IP of the current environment. After that, the code also attempts to exfiltrate cryptocurrency wallet data Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers. Campaign: 2026-06-textwrap-toolkit-stager Reasons (based on the campaign): - backdoor - obfuscation - crypto-related - Downloads and executes a remote malicious script. - exfiltration-crypto
