Description
The stdid-nyxprobe package on PyPI contains malicious code that exfiltrates basic host information such as IP address and username upon installation or import. The package overrides the install command to execute this code, serving no legitimate purpose beyond data exfiltration. The risk is limited but present due to the unauthorized data collection.
