Malicious code in turbom (PyPI)

Details

**Severity:** Critical

**Affected versions:** `= 1.0.0`

## Source: kam193 (64978153f8a987180b6c8e88b5787598ed949a604527f0098271f97d8c66a235)
Starting version 1.0.1, the package contains obfuscated code and embedded binary that is executed during the import, sharing many similarities with package oxntime. The embedded seems to act as a guard for further execution, with some sandbox evasion techniques and time-based actions.

Prior to 1.0.1, the package offered obfuscation techniques.
