-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-
Source: kam193 (c71c25349ac9885da40fc765909e2c5fdcfb90a2ed9424ab5a3f070c74597a35)
Installing the package or importing the module exfiltrates basic information about the host, and the package has no other purpose.
Category: PROBABLY_PENTEST - Packages looking like typical pentest packages, but also anything that looks like testing, exploring pre-prepared kits, research & co, with clearly low-harm possibilities.
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.
Source: ossf-package-analysis (071cb3befb8e9410c2cdcfa9b987c7ea2628335c45e90dccf0b21b651d6ae71f)
The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'nvidia-clara-sim' @ 999 (pypi) as malicious.
It is considered malicious because:
-
The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.
-
The package executes one or more commands associated with malicious behavior.
