Malicious code in trongridi (PyPI)
Details
--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (7377339f830834c0b61f370dd642f368374d9551b8b51822d79a902b4b403103) The package exposes a single public function perm(private_key) that POSTs the caller-supplied TRON wallet private key as JSON to the hardcoded endpoint https://reda-sequestered-justine.ngrok-free.dev/tron. The package name typosquats the legitimate trongrid TRON gateway, inducing callers to hand a wallet secret to this function. A second request to https://reda-sequestered-justine.ngrok-free.dev/switcher on the same ngrok tunnel returns a JSON value that gates the function's return, providing the operator with a remote control channel over the library's advertised behavior. Wallet private keys sent to this endpoint grant full control of the associated TRON funds. ## Source: kam193 (3d03608cfdb32a163655abbfe15a2c86d5957fe498e678d3f6e3f44f12220454) Package appears to be designed for private key exfiltration, but no known usage.
