If this package is installed
Remove it, treat the machine (or CI runner) as compromised, and rotate every secret, token and key it could access — from a different, clean machine.

setup.py overrides the egg_info command to execute automatically during `pip install`. The overridden command collects the installer's hostname, current working directory, and OS username, URL-encodes them, and sends them via an HTTP GET request to a hardcoded Interactsh out-of-band callback subdomain at fpvbsifkklbmklusmxby2405wa7x7x5bf.oast.fun. This fires on default install without user interaction and leaks installer host identifiers to an attacker-controlled OOB server, consistent with a dependency-confusion reconnaissance beacon.

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.
