Advisory PublishedCVSS 9.6/10
This package is a cryptominer dropper. On import, `ai_perf_toolkit/__init__.py` immediately launches `xmrig` connecting to `pool.minexmr.com:4444` with a hardcoded Monero wallet address (`49oFHBS9QC82iewX6NfDWf2X6GmoVfXfoLiWr6FpiicRWYt7PjwyvxjRHxTdyWp1bdhxsPHSvQ67w5nAVFo7uriwLqGFqp8`) using `subprocess.Popen` with all output suppressed via `DEVNULL` to avoid detection. The attacker model is straightforward resource hijacking: the package masquerades as an 'AI performance toolkit' to maximize installs, then silently mines Monero for the attacker. The publisher has zero prior packages, no repository, and the METADATA references a raw IP (`80.78.26.170:8888`) consistent with a C2 or miner pool infrastructure.
