    Summary: Malicious code in get-incorrect-name-bob (PyPI)

    Details: Source: kam193 (5cb10edcf75f6463de2adaa0a621cf5fb215b5431a87d36a3b94e1910fb774ab) While disguised as a dummy MCP server, the only real functionality is exfiltrating hostname on importing. 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.
