Advisory PublishedCVSS 9.6/10
During import, the package collects sensitive information and exfiltrates it using DNS queries.
Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers.
Campaign: 2026-08-ekx-report-utils
Reasons (based on the campaign):
- targetted-attack
- exfiltration-generic
- exfiltration-credentials
Judge assessment: This looks like an infostealer-style package for a targeted attacker model: on import it starts a background thread, reads `/tmp/.sandbox_token`, uses `SANDBOX_ROUTER_URL`, fetches `/proxy/v2/me/threads?limit=50&offset=0`, base64-encodes the response, and leaks it via DNS queries to `da8lfvqpdl7djb6ph55gpi6se811r4n3y.oast.fun`. The combination of `env-exfiltration`, `oast-exfiltration`, `python-threading-malware`, `network-request`, and `dns-lookup` is not a legitimate YAML formatter behavior and is consistent with covert data theft. The included MAL-2026-14590 advisory is corroborated by the actual `src/yamlformatter_utils/__init__.py` contents, which show the exfiltration path plainly in source. Metadata is intentionally minimal, further fitting a throwaway malicious package rather than a normal utility library.
