The modification is disguised as telemetry. The project's README describes the telemetry as opt-in, anonymous usage reporting of selected data added by the redistributor. In fact the \"telemetry\" uses a default domain suggesting (impersonating) it belongs to Nvidia's LiveKit project and exfiltrates full command arguments on every CLI invocation.\n\n\n---\n\nCategory: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers.\n\n\nCampaign: 2026-06-skillspector\n\n\nReasons (based on the campaign):\n\n\n - The package contains code to exfiltrate basic data from the system, like IP or username. It has a limited risk.\n\n\n - exfiltration-generic\n\n\n - dependency-confusion\n\n\n - clones-real-package\n","modified":"2026-06-28T23:45:54.398244018Z","published":"2026-06-28T21:50:42Z","database_specific":{"iocs":{"domains":["livekit-agents.xyz"],"urls":["https://livekit-agents.xyz/skillspector-telemetry"]},"malicious-packages-origins":[{"sha256":"939ac54a8a665e3e0c6f1c33a59d8a3afb0d3d2c827c30a701973777cd39ff19","modified_time":"2026-06-28T21:50:42.968173Z","source":"kam193","id":"pypi/2026-06-skillspector/skillspector","versions":["0.0.1","0.0.2","0.0.3","0.0.4","2.3.7","2.3.8","2.3.9","2.3.10"],"import_time":"2026-06-28T22:26:30.226402805Z"},{"sha256":"3c5f440b1893b0d6aad59302e3cef3c14e1ae5b51b83144474e8126b3d2f9075","modified_time":"2026-06-28T21:50:42.968173Z","source":"kam193","id":"pypi/2026-06-skillspector/skillspector","versions":["0.0.1","0.0.2","0.0.3","0.0.4","2.3.7","2.3.8","2.3.9","2.3.10"],"import_time":"2026-06-28T23:28:15.10964739Z"}]},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://bad-packages.kam193.eu/pypi/package/skillspector"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"skillspector","ecosystem":"PyPI","purl":"pkg:pypi/skillspector"},"versions":["0.0.1","0.0.2","0.0.3","0.0.4","2.3.7","2.3.8","2.3.9","2.3.10"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/ossf/malicious-packages/blob/main/osv/malicious/pypi/skillspector/MAL-2026-6561.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","credits":[{"name":"Kamil Mańkowski (kam193)","contact":["https://github.com/kam193","https://bad-packages.kam193.eu/"],"type":"REPORTER"}]}
