Campaign data

Campaign information may not always be 100% accurate for every related package.

Campaign description

Code contains a function to execute remote code, which at the time of analysis was extracting the "auth_user" table from Django DB. The remote code execution is partially documented and disguised with multiple warnings, but a) the 'convenience function' uses a hardcoded endpoint and loads results to the global namespace, b) the warnings are silenced by default.

See more details on the campaign page.

action-hidden-in-lib-usage

The malicious action is hidden in the code and starts when user interacts with it (e.g. during class initialization or by exfiltrating given credentials).
