Advisory PublishedCVSS 9.6/10
Vulnetix · Advisory published July 31, 2026
This is a typosquat of the popular `requests` library (Levenshtein distance 1: 'reguestsc' vs 'requests') that copies the legitimate package's metadata wholesale but injects a dropper payload into `src/requests/__init__.py`. The modified `__init__.py` contains a hardcoded URL `http://31.76.101.19:8080/Group.exe` — a raw IP serving a Windows executable — combined with `subprocess.Popen(` in the same file, constituting a classic fetch-and-execute dropper pattern. Cyrillic comments in that same file (`# Импортируем requests внутри, чтобы не сломать основной импорт`) indicate the Russian-speaking attacker was aware they were modifying the original requests source. The publisher 'Bibinto' has zero prior packages, no repository link, and the package claims to be version 2.34.2 of a library that doesn't exist under this name — all consistent with a newly-created malicious account. The attacker model is straightforward: victim installs the typosquat, import triggers `__init__.py`, `Group.exe` is downloaded from the C2 and executed.
