Description
The ai-perf-toolkit package version 2.4.2 on PyPI contains malicious code that initiates cryptomining upon import. The cryptomining activity targets a hardcoded wallet and requires pre-installed mining software to operate. This behavior classifies the package as malicious with clear intent to abuse system resources for unauthorized cryptocurrency mining.
