    Summary: Malicious code in cicd-ppe-test (PyPI)

    Details: Source: kam193 (c9f1bfe5b5514b9b3a1ffad43be1f06d22faf12f031d325a9e689340c2ab16a0) Installing the package or importing the module exfiltrates basic information about the host, and the package has no other purpose. Category: PROBABLY_PENTEST - Packages looking like typical pentest packages, but also anything that looks like testing, exploring pre-prepared kits, research & co, with clearly low-harm possibilities. Campaign: GENERIC-standard-pypi-install-pentest Reasons (based on the campaign): - The package contains code to exfiltrate basic data from the system, like IP or username. It has a limited risk. - The package overrides the install command in setup.py to execute malicious code during installation.
