**Severity:** Critical **Affected versions:** `= 99999.0.0` ## Source: kam193 (0f81b904b849df393cbe5c34f952af65d8b28e0797e33d62cf964df77d4929c7) 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. --- Credit: [OpenSSF](https://github.com/ossf/malicious-packages) ([source](https://github.com/ossf/malicious-packages/blob/0b189f054abc2cc155db505fc18d85c9caf9c9a1/osv/malicious/pypi/nvtorch-oot-nightly/MAL-2026-11425.json)) **References:** - https://bad-packages.kam193.eu/pypi/package/nvtorch-oot-nightly - https://github.com/ossf/malicious-packages/blob/0b189f054abc2cc155db505fc18d85c9caf9c9a1/osv/malicious/pypi/nvtorch-oot-nightly/MAL-2026-11425.json - https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-5g9f-m99h-h89p
