## Overview


---
_-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_

## Source: amazon-inspector (c5319f74a06670d40b020831dae38da696aa966dc1fdfde45063abb0024df922)
setup.py runs automatically during `pip install` and POSTs the installer's OS, username (USER/USERNAME), and hostname (via COMPUTERNAME on Windows or the `hostname` command on POSIX) as form-encoded data to the hardcoded plaintext HTTP endpoint http://182.92.143.23/collect.php. The package declares `packages=[]` and ships no importable code implementing the advertised CLI, so the beacon is the sole install-time behavior. The destination is a bare-IP HTTP endpoint unrelated to any legitimate PyPI or vendor infrastructure, and the collected fields identify the installer's machine and account.

Installing the package or importing the module exfiltrates basic information about the host, and the package has no other purpose.

Category: PROBABLY_PENTEST - Packages looking like typical pentest packages, but also anything that looks like testing, exploring pre-prepared kits, research & co, with clearly low-harm possibilities.


Campaign: GENERIC-standard-pypi-install-pentest


Reasons (based on the campaign):


 - The package contains code to exfiltrate basic data from the system, like IP or username. It has a limited risk.


 - The package overrides the install command in setup.py to execute malicious code during installation.


## Affected packages

- `cli-anything-ai-market`

## Remediation

Refer to the advisory for the patched release.
