Advisory PublishedCVSS 9.6/10
This campaign consists of similar loader packages, which provide executing code from a given URL. While they do not contain the malicious payload and the usage remains unknown, they are clearly a coordinated campaign to place multiple deceptive ways to load malicious code.
Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers.
Campaign: 2026-10-voice-synthesis-profiles
Reasons (based on the campaign):
- other
- Downloads and executes a remote malicious script.
Judge assessment: The package implements a fetch-and-exec loader: `acquire()` in `speaksocket/__init__.py` downloads arbitrary Python source from a caller-supplied URL (or `SPEAKSOCKET_URL` environment variable), writes it to a temp directory under `.speaksocket/`, and executes it in-process via `exec(compile(source, mod.__file__, "exec"), mod.__dict__)`. The package has no legitimate functionality of its own — its entire surface is a mechanism for loading and running remote, attacker-controlled code. The attacker model is supply-chain positioning: the package installs cleanly (stdlib-only, no binary wheels), then any downstream call to `execute()` or `acquire()` runs whatever payload the operator has placed at the supplied URL. The IOC URL extracted from the docstring (`https://example/internal/harness.py`) is a placeholder example, not a confirmed C2 endpoint, so no destination is listed; the loader infrastructure itself is the malicious artifact. Minimal metadata (no repo, no description, no homepage) is consistent with a throwaway campaign package, corroborating the coordinated-campaign assessment.
