During installation, if a machine is Mac, an obfuscated code attempts to download and execute a shell script. Currently, the server does not respond. --- 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: 2024-08-old-cobo-sectest Reasons (based on the campaign): - Downloads and executes a remote executable. - clones-real-package - crypto-related - The package overrides the install command in setup.py to execute malicious code during installation. - obfuscation - typosquatting
