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. ## Source: ossf-package-analysis (54859476f6015ea4a22d1cbfaf5087feddc5a7281f40482da9fd9cb7aa362f65) The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'quizdom' @ 0.1.0 (pypi) as malicious.
