Description
The PyPI package modelworks version 0.1.0 is part of a malicious campaign involving loader packages designed to execute code from remote URLs. Although the analyzed version itself does not exhibit installer-harm behavior or direct malicious activity, it is associated with a coordinated effort to deploy deceptive loaders that download and execute remote malicious scripts.
