There are also variations with AWS clients\n\nApparently, the campaign started at least 2 years ago with the snapshot-photo package containing the same functionality as the newer time-check-server (see https://github.com/pypi-data/pypi-mirror-238/blob/code/packages/snapshot-photo/snapshot_photo-0.0.3-py3-none-any.whl/snapshot_photo/date_format.py).\n\n\n---\n\nCategory: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers.\n\n\nCampaign: 2025-02-alicloud-client\n\n\nReasons (based on the campaign):\n\n\n - clones-real-package\n\n\n - action-hidden-in-lib-usage\n\n\n - The malicious code is intentionally included in a dependency of the package\n\n\n - exfiltration-cloud-tokens\n","modified":"2026-01-30T21:09:22.859481Z","published":"2025-02-25T18:18:21Z","database_specific":{"iocs":{"domains":["checktimeserver.org","aliyun-sdk-requests.xyz"],"urls":["https://api.checktimeserver.org/","https://api.aliyun-sdk-requests.xyz/"]},"malicious-packages-origins":[{"import_time":"2025-12-02T22:30:55.128373264Z","modified_time":"2025-02-25T18:18:21Z","ranges":[{"events":[{"introduced":"0"}],"type":"ECOSYSTEM"}],"sha256":"b68415d313aaa9daf298b28ba93ce36a65a9b197977729771fffc637d9cd8f79","source":"kam193","id":"pypi/2025-02-alicloud-client/enumer-iam"},{"id":"pypi/2025-02-alicloud-client/enumer-iam","import_time":"2025-12-02T23:07:18.139457193Z","modified_time":"2025-02-25T18:18:21Z","ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"sha256":"8062489d0fe9ae58c1937e4afba7f0f3adfbd507e07dd81bb9450bf7f58c6943","source":"kam193"},{"import_time":"2025-12-10T21:38:57.421789478Z","modified_time":"2025-02-25T18:18:21Z","sha256":"185895bb04944a9bc355c1e98e121ec3d319d9cadd1539a04304bd7e486885e5","source":"kam193","versions":["1.0.0"],"id":"pypi/2025-02-alicloud-client/enumer-iam"},{"versions":["1.0.0"],"id":"pypi/2025-02-alicloud-client/enumer-iam","import_time":"2026-01-30T19:43:58.382325017Z","modified_time":"2025-02-25T18:18:21Z","sha256":"01bc02b22fe2b8f45520546818df6a0e4aa224c81c04544c17a6d801879d4af9","source":"kam193"}]},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/pypi-data/pypi-mirror-238/blob/code/packages/snapshot-photo/snapshot_photo-0.0.3-py3-none-any.whl/snapshot_photo/date_format.py"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://x.com/ReversingLabs/status/1900198602242204003"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://thehackernews.com/2025/03/malicious-pypi-packages-stole-cloud.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://bad-packages.kam193.eu/pypi/package/enumer-iam"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"enumer-iam","ecosystem":"PyPI","purl":"pkg:pypi/enumer-iam"},"versions":["1.0.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/ossf/malicious-packages/blob/main/osv/malicious/pypi/enumer-iam/MAL-2025-191721.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","credits":[{"name":"Kamil Mańkowski (kam193)","contact":["https://github.com/kam193","https://bad-packages.kam193.eu/"]},{"name":"Kamil Mańkowski (kam193)","contact":["https://github.com/kam193","https://bad-packages.kam193.eu/"],"type":"REPORTER"}]}
