Details
**Severity:** Critical **Affected versions:** `= 2.1` ## Source: kam193 (8e2d03134723d75ab2f0b36c6acad54fa5d16b4ba0f04bf2705e188fd19626b9) This is a copy of a legit package with added basic exfiltration in the setup.py --- 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/49d0cfba3689ed9b195d101d3a2a964c6a77f767/osv/malicious/pypi/lbank-connector-pythons/MAL-2025-191644.json)) **References:** - https://bad-packages.kam193.eu/pypi/package/lbank-connector-pythons - https://github.com/ossf/malicious-packages/blob/49d0cfba3689ed9b195d101d3a2a964c6a77f767/osv/malicious/pypi/lbank-connector-pythons/MAL-2025-191644.json - https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-vvgf-5xxq-w34q
