Description
The xAyOuB-XcTxTeaM PyPI package versions 0.1.0, 0.1.1, and 0.1.2 contain malicious code that automatically starts a Flask HTTP server on import, exposing unauthenticated remote control endpoints. This allows remote attackers to cause the package to send abuse traffic from the installer's IP. The package also logs into multiple hardcoded Garena Free Fire guest accounts using embedded credentials and emits invite-spam packets to targets specified by the attacker. TLS verification is disabled for these outbound connections, and sensitive credentials are stored in cleartext within the package.
