PyPI malware packages

PyPI Malware

Info

PyPI is a well known Python packages repository. Everyone can upload modules to PyPI without any security checks or audits.

Legacy package format is based on distutils module and requires setup.py script. This script is run on local machine once package is been installed.

How to verify

pip freeze | grep "distrib\|djanga\|easyinstall\|junkeldat\|libpeshka\|mumpy\|mybiubiubiu\|nmap-python\|openvc\|python-ftp\|pythonkafka\|python-mongo\|python-mysql\|python-mysqldb\|python-openssl\|python-sqlite\|smb\|virtualnv"

How to be secure

• use "wheels"
• always double check package name
• do not run pip as root/admin
• use pip hash-checking mode
