Advisory PublishedCVSS 8.8/10
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 intended to collect environment data at import time and exfiltrate it, matching the attacker model described in MAL-2026-14555. The code in `src/ekx_report_utils/__init__.py` reads `SANDBOX_ROUTER_URL` from `os.environ` and then uses `urllib.request.Request`, `urllib.request.urlopen`, and `socket.getaddrinfo`, which is consistent with sensitive-data collection plus network-based exfiltration. The minimal metadata (`missing-description`, `no-repository`, `metadata-minimal`) also fits a throwaway malicious package rather than a normal utility library. I would treat this as a targeted malicious package and submit it for OSM with critical/malicious severity.
EXFIL
- Environment Variable Exfiltration in src/ekx_report_utils/__init__.py: "os.environ.get("SANDBOX_ROUTER_URL", "") if not c or not r: return import urllib"
- Network Request in src/ekx_report_utils/__init__.py: "urllib.request.Request("
- DNS Lookup in src/ekx_report_utils/__init__.py: "socket.getaddrinfo("
