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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The asdk-plugin-legacy PyPI package versions 0.0.1 and 9999.0.0 include malicious functionality that executes during installation by overriding the setup.py install command. This code collects and exfiltrates basic system information like IP address and username. The package does not provide any legitimate functionality and is designed solely for data exfiltration. There is no indication of known exploits in the wild, and no CVSS score is assigned. The threat is categorized as low-harm but is a clear example of a malicious package in the PyPI ecosystem.
Potential Impact
Installation or import of the affected asdk-plugin-legacy package versions results in unauthorized exfiltration of basic host information such as IP address and username. This compromises user privacy and may aid further malicious activity. The impact is limited to information disclosure with no indication of system compromise or further exploitation.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation is currently available. Users should avoid installing or importing the asdk-plugin-legacy package versions 0.0.1 and 9999.0.0. Verify package authenticity before installation and prefer trusted sources. Monitor for updates or advisories from PyPI or the package maintainers for remediation guidance.
