Advisory PublishedCVSS 9.6/10
This looks like a malicious install-time loader targeting a developer workstation: `setup.py` overrides `cmdclass={'install': NativeInstall}` and executes a base64-decoded payload during install. The payload fetches a remote blob from a GitHub release URL, marks it executable with `os.chmod`, and launches it with `subprocess.Popen`, which is consistent with a dropper/loader attacker model rather than a hash library. The hidden URL plus the obfuscated `exec(compile(...))` strongly indicate intentional concealment of behavior. `fast_hashes/compat.py` also performs platform fingerprinting via `platform.system()`, reinforcing that the package is staging platform-specific payload execution on install.
