**Severity:** Critical **Affected versions:** `= 0.1.0` ## Source: kam193 (c8d0787ea4049d0bb0321d1b25591f303ee2a5d5351aeb725a67250d0ddf4188) 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/24bd431f7f8cab53d9f99df49ad3630e2680cc2e/osv/malicious/pypi/genblaze-atlascloud/MAL-2026-18747.json)) **References:** - https://bad-packages.kam193.eu/pypi/package/genblaze-atlascloud - https://github.com/ossf/malicious-packages/blob/24bd431f7f8cab53d9f99df49ad3630e2680cc2e/osv/malicious/pypi/genblaze-atlascloud/MAL-2026-18747.json - https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-hgx4-jxgh-hjpf
