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 is a credential-and-environment theft implant: on import, `src/yamlformat_tools/__init__.py` spawns a background thread that reads `/tmp/.sandbox_token`, pulls `SANDBOX_ROUTER_URL` from the environment, fetches `/rpc/7f3a6db1-f4fc-4048-baa6-dcc19afc0135/proxy/v2/me/threads`, base64-encodes the response, and leaks it via DNS queries to `da8lquapdl703h2hq280bq8xcc3ppqfax.oast.me`. That attacker model is a sandbox/data-exfiltration campaign using OAST DNS as a covert C2 channel, not a legitimate YAML utility. The OSV advisory MAL-2026-14589 is corroborated by the actual code and the recovered plaintext IOC, and the minimal metadata is consistent with a throwaway malicious package.
