Malicious code in requests-ml-min (PyPI)
Details

-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-

Source: kam193 (50b58a918d401d420b3c2cf32e907bfa5a54052427b44d64242e99cc7a164bb7)

During installation, the package starts obfuscated code that downloads and runs remote executables in specific environments - in older packages - attempts to exfiltrate some basic information using DNS requests and then likely cover tracks by installing a similarly named package from private repository


Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers.

Campaign: 2026-02-urllib-slim

Reasons (based on the campaign):

  • typosquatting

  • Downloads and executes a remote executable.

  • obfuscation
