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.

The package's setup.py overrides the install and develop cmdclass to base64-decode a bundled request/.payload file and launch it via subprocess.Popen([sys.executable, '-c', payload],...) with DETACHED_PROCESS|CREATE_NO_WINDOW at pip install time. The decoded payload is a Windows infostealer that enumerates Chrome/Edge/Brave/Opera/Vivaldi/Firefox profiles (cookies, logins, key4.db, autofill, saved cards), 50+ crypto wallet browser extensions and standalone wallet apps (Electrum, Binance, Ethereum), clipboard contents, email/FTP client credentials, and system fingerprint data, advertising a Chrome v20 ABE bypass. Collected data is exfiltrated to api.telegram.org/bot<TOKEN>/sendMessage and /sendDocument, and to https://recloud-blush.vercel.app; ipinfo.io is queried for geolocation. The payload also installs boot persistence disguised as svchost.exe, performs periodic screenshotting when crypto apps are active, targeted keylogging for passwords/seeds/private keys, and maintains a real-time C2 channel. The package name typosquats 'multiprocessing' while its metadata forges the publisher identity as 'Python Software Foundation' (python-dev@python.org, github.com/psf/request) and request/__init__.py re-exports symbols from the real requests library as a cover story.

During installation, package executes an infostealer that e.g. exfiltrates browsers and crypto wallets data, establishes persistence, monitors clipboard.
