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.
