Indexed incident for requests-enhancer (pypi).
Malicious package with a chain of multiple manual dependencies to finally download malicious code. During import, it manually downloads a dependency from GitHub repository "Hexa-devy/netflow-utils", which then attempts to download "codexio-boop/platform_syslib". The last one contains obfuscated code that during installation connects with node22.lunes[.]host:3258 and downloads encrypted payload. The payload is executed, and it then starts another loop of connections to node22.lunes[.]host:22240 and awaits next payloads to execute. During analysis, this stage did not deliver any payload. On every stage, short-living generated tokens are used.
