The modified code introduces a function that silently exfiltrates given data to a hardcoded location. What is interesting, during the analysis the remote domain did not exist and the malicious code was not called in the package, suggesting preparation for the further attack.\n\n\n---\n\nCategory: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers.\n\n\nCampaign: 2026-03-aioutil3\n\n\nReasons (based on the campaign):\n\n\n - clones-real-package\n\n\n - The package contains code to exfiltrate basic data from the system, like IP or username. It has a limited risk.\n","modified":"2026-03-08T20:16:21.661566Z","published":"2026-03-08T19:35:54Z","database_specific":{"iocs":{"domains":["aioutil3.tech"],"urls":["https://aioutil3.tech/api/info/faq/"]},"malicious-packages-origins":[{"sha256":"cb06e8bed4bc80c83b203abcee07556086a0c41f2b52d72d4a3b3740ddfa95d0","source":"kam193","versions":["3.9.1"],"id":"pypi/2026-03-aioutil3/aioutil3","import_time":"2026-03-08T20:08:49.46127673Z","modified_time":"2026-03-08T19:35:54.941599Z"}]},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://bad-packages.kam193.eu/pypi/package/aioutil3"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"aioutil3","ecosystem":"PyPI","purl":"pkg:pypi/aioutil3"},"versions":["3.9.1"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/ossf/malicious-packages/blob/main/osv/malicious/pypi/aioutil3/MAL-2026-1289.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","credits":[{"name":"Kamil Mańkowski (kam193)","contact":["https://github.com/kam193","https://bad-packages.kam193.eu/"],"type":"REPORTER"}]}
