Likely continuation of 2026-03-rowrap. The campaign is built over a malicious Roblox API wrapper. The roboat[.]pro (later robase[.]app) domain advertises a wrapper that is either directly malicious (as roboat collected in the campaign 2026-03-rowrap) or uses a malicious dependencies (like roboat-utils). New versions are published simultaneously with malicious dependencies and quickly removed. Another advertisement channel is https://github.com/Addi9000/roboat referencing two active contributors: https://github.com/Addi9000 and https://github.com/RoCruise --- Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers. Campaign: 2026-03-roboat-addition Reasons (based on the campaign): - The package overrides the install command in setup.py to execute malicious code during installation. - Downloads and executes a remote executable. - The malicious code is intentionally included in a dependency of the package - malware - clones-real-package
