MAL-2026-10688: Malicious code in log-guru (PyPI)
The PyPI package 'log-guru' version 0.7.8 is identified as a typosquatted malicious package that installs a Mythic/Poseidon C2 framework beacon. Upon installation, it ensures persistence and communicates with a command and control server at wegoexchange[.]site for further instructions. The package includes mechanisms to detect sandbox environments, indicating an attempt to evade analysis. This campaign is categorized as malicious with clear intent to compromise systems.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The 'log-guru' package version 0.7.8 on PyPI is a typosquatted malicious package that installs a remote access beacon based on the Mythic/Poseidon C2 framework. It establishes persistence on the infected system and communicates with a remote command and control server for further commands. The package also contains sandbox detection code to avoid analysis in controlled environments. This behavior classifies it as malware with capabilities for remote control and persistence.
Potential Impact
Installation of this package results in the deployment of a persistent C2 beacon that allows remote attackers to execute commands on the compromised system. This can lead to unauthorized access, data exfiltration, and further malicious activities controlled by the attacker. The sandbox detection feature may hinder detection and analysis efforts.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is available as this is a malicious typosquatted package rather than a vulnerability in legitimate software. Users should avoid installing 'log-guru' version 0.7.8 from PyPI and verify package authenticity before installation. Security teams should monitor for and remove this package if found in their environments. Since this is not a cloud service, remediation is the responsibility of the user or administrator.
