On `import pymaas`, top-level code in the package invokes a `_canary()` function that collects the entire `os.environ` dictionary and `socket.gethostname()`, serializes them as JSON, and POSTs the payload via `urllib.request.urlopen` to the hardcoded host `https://vuorblucjega.dssldrf.net/python-install-log/pymaas`. The behavior runs unconditionally on import with no consent, no gating, and no relationship to the destination domain. Combined with the implausibly high version `99.99.0` and the package's own `dependency confusion test` description, the shipped code is a dependency-confusion beacon that harvests any credentials present in the process environment (CI tokens, cloud provider keys, registry auth tokens, database passwords) and delivers them to an external non-publisher host.

During import, the package exfiltrates environment variables.

Reasons (based on the campaign):


 - exfiltration-env-variables


 - dependency-confusion


 - The package contains code to exfiltrate basic data from the system, like IP or username. It has a limited risk.
