Vulnetix · Advisory published October 21, 2026
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): - Downloads and executes a remote malicious script. - other Judge assessment: The package's `spec()` function in `shellgrip/__init__.py` fetches arbitrary Python source from a caller-supplied URL (or from the `SHELLGRIP_URL` environment variable) and executes it verbatim via `exec(compile(...))` in a dynamically-created module — a textbook remote code execution loader. The fetched payload is also written to disk under `/tmp/.shellgrip/` before execution, giving it persistence on the filesystem. The package's own docstring example hardcodes `https://example/internal/spec.py` as the fetch target, which the IOC classifier marks as a C2 role. Combined with a brand-new single-version package with no repository, no author, and a description that frames the loader as a legitimate automation helper ('sandboxed notebooks'), this is consistent with a coordinated campaign of deceptive loader packages designed to pull and run attacker-controlled payloads. The OSV advisory's attribution to a named campaign of similar loader packages aligns exactly with what the code does. ENTRY shellgrip/__init__.py (module-import: 53) DESTINATION - 1 fetched-payload (urls) (values recorded in verified_iocs) EXFIL - Network Request in shellgrip/__init__.py: "urllib.request.urlopen(" ADDITIONAL FINDINGS - Dynamic Code Execution in shellgrip/__init__.py: "compile(source, mod.__file__, "exec")" - Brand New Package PAYLOAD FILES shellgrip/__init__.py
