The file is not documentation: it is a Python remote-access client with a shebang that registers with a hardcoded command-and-control server at and polls for operator commands. Handlers implement arbitrary shell execution via ( ), arbitrary file read with base64-encoded upload back to the C2 ( ), plus , , , and operations. The dropper stages the payload under a benign filename in a highly visible location to induce the user to run it; once run, the operator obtains interactive shell and arbitrary file read on the host, enabling theft of SSH keys, cloud credentials, and other secrets. ships placeholder author metadata ( / , ), consistent with an unattributed malicious upload. ## Source: kam193 (f42a135102abc5c66418237d4c6d9f8ee608570f8d4d5146463924666e0338e1) The package installs a persistent job that allows the attacker for exfiltrating files and executing remote code on the victim's machine. --- Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers. Campaign: 2026-10-agentaix Reasons (based on the campaign): - files-exfiltration - peristence-autorun - The package contains code to execute remote commands (probably limited to a specific set) on the victim's machine. - rat - persistence - Downloads and executes a remote malicious script.
