MAL-2026-6280

Summary: Malicious code in ip-rotat (PyPI)

Details: Source: amazon-inspector (e85ab2724beee13bb6c2658c5bf5d50069c83619f062d39935226ff1fee1c0a3) On `pip install` or `pip download`, setup.py registers overridden `install` and `egg_info` cmdclass entries that execute `ps -elf` to capture the host's process listing and iterate the entire `os.environ` mapping into a URL-encoded body, then POST the combined payload via curl to `http://gjampdwmdjmppwedtkpbbdkq05f6iiz6r.oast.fun` over plaintext HTTP. Bulk env scraping at install time leaks any CI/CD secrets present in the environment (AWS keys, GitHub/npm/PyPI tokens, etc.) along with a system-wide process listing. The package ships no actual ip-rotation functionality — setup.py contains only the exfiltration payload, the package name `ip_rotat` is a one-character truncation of common `ip-rotator`-style libraries, and the README references the `this_is_fine_wuzzi` install-time-code-execution PoC. The combination of name confusion, zero advertised functionality, and an automatic install-time exfil hook is a supply-chain attack against any installer.

Campaign: 2026-06-ip-rotat Reasons (based on the campaign): - The package overrides the install command in setup.py to execute malicious code during installation. - exfiltration-env-variables - typosquatting
