Description
The log-utils-sdk package version 0.4.1 on PyPI contains malicious code that executes upon import or use. This code downloads additional malicious scripts and runs a background process that periodically connects to a remote host to receive further commands. The package is a clone of a legitimate library and is part of a known malicious campaign involving obfuscation and remote command execution.
