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. ## Source: ossf-package-analysis (f6374657adeacc8c32b7973bed105f6733f6cb8da7c9ec7c62eba4804c5fa0d1) The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'asdk-plugin-alphagen' @ 9999.0.0 (pypi) as malicious. It is considered malicious because: - The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The 'asdk-plugin-alphagen' package on PyPI, specifically versions 0.0.1 and 9999.0.0, is identified as malicious. Installing or importing this package triggers code that collects basic system information and sends it to a malicious domain. The package also overrides the setup.py install command to execute this code during installation. This behavior classifies it as a malicious package with a focus on data exfiltration rather than broader exploitation.
Potential Impact
The impact is limited to the unauthorized collection and exfiltration of basic system information such as IP address and username. There is no indication of further system compromise or exploitation beyond this data leakage. No known exploits in the wild have been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation is available. Users should avoid installing or importing the 'asdk-plugin-alphagen' package, especially versions 0.0.1 and 9999.0.0. Review and remove these versions if present in your environment. Since this is a malicious package, the best mitigation is to block its installation and monitor for its presence.
