Advisory PublishedCVSS 9.6/10
This package fits a malware dropper/infostealer attacker model: the codebase combines hidden decoded content in src/syswatch/_monitor.py with shell execution, silent process execution, HTTP requests, and environment fingerprinting in diagnostics.py. The presence of a Railway-hosted URL (https://github-repo.up.railway.app) inside decoded base64, plus platform.system() and platform.machine() checks, matches the OSV-described campaign pattern of sandbox evasion and remote payload delivery. Although syswatch.io appears as passive project metadata, the operational evidence points to concealed execution and likely exfiltration rather than a legitimate system-monitoring utility.
EXFIL
- Network Request in src/syswatch/_network.py: "urllib.request.Request("
- System Information Collection in src/syswatch/diagnostics.py: "platform.system()"
OBFUSCATION
- Decoded Base64 Content in src/syswatch/_monitor.py (x2)
- recovered 1 urls, 1 domains from decoded/deobfuscated content
ADDITIONAL FINDINGS
- Shell Command Execution in src/syswatch/_process.py: "subprocess.run("
- Silent Process Execution in src/syswatch/_process.py: "stdout=_DEVNULL"
