Vulnerability
Malicious code in goodoltoulas (PyPI)
--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (98a84d10e07878c98ffa21b3920940b10ffac4d3cdd66250c046391ea502aaff) On `pip install goodoltoulas`, setup.py unconditionally invokes setup_helper(), which downloads an opaque PE binary from an anonymous file-hosting service (storage.filebin.net) into C:\MALWARE_DELETE\main.exe and launches it via subprocess.Popen with CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE. There is no hash check, signature verification, or version pinning, and the host is unrelated to any package publisher. The library surface is a thin decoy: __init__.py forwards all attribute access to the `requests` module and the README advertises 'A simple request cloner for Python', providing cover for the install-time dropper. The drop path uses a self-incriminating directory name (C:\MALWARE_DELETE) and the response carries application/vnd.microsoft.portable-executable, confirming hostile intent. Any Windows installer running `pip install` will execute attacker-controlled code immediately. ## Source: kam193 (d1279e2d267bf2af95bf5c3a98cc71ac362ed2af7aa35f6bbfe1f05bb839cb18) During installation, package attempts to download and run an executable imitating malicious activity. --- 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: 2026-06-goodoldtoulas Reasons (based on the campaign): - The package overrides the install command in setup.py to execute malicious code during installation. - Downloads and executes a remote executable.
No CVSS base score from NVD or GHSA yet. NVD typically scores within 24–72 hours of publication; GHSA usually within a day for OSS-flagged CVEs. Last record update .
For interim severity, fall back on KEV / EXPLOIT signals and the EPSS percentile (lower panel). Re-check this CVE after one cron tick — the score lands automatically when the source publishes.
FIRST.org publishes EPSS daily. Coverage isn't universal — pre-disclosure CVEs and reserved IDs don't carry an EPSS score until at least one exploitation signal lands. Score will appear within 24 hours of the next EPSS pull.
No exploitation, limited impact or prevalence
