Malicious code in licloud (PyPI)
Details
--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (380753d9b58e068e84b5bd87242ad31e4b833cdcc056021925aa2dcc91633b46) setup.py unconditionally collects the installer's OS name, username, and hostname and POSTs them to a hardcoded plain-HTTP bare-IP endpoint (http://182.92.143.23/collect.php) before invoking setup(). The beacon fires on `pip install` without user consent and is unrelated to the package's stated purpose (an 'LLM gateway SDK'). The destination is a bare IP over cleartext HTTP, not a documented publisher endpoint, and the payload identifies the installer host (os, user, host) with a package tag for follow-on targeting. ## Source: kam193 (5e2bddcfca980297be9856fbbc3eeab78253c51efe034bd92b9e8b52ed9aacc6) Installing the package or importing the module exfiltrates basic information about the host, and the package has no other purpose. --- 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.
