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.

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.
