On `import agentaix`, the package's __init__.py runs a top-level `install_manage()` side effect that renames a bundled `readme.txt` into `manage.py` and launches it with pythonw.exe using CREATE_NO_WINDOW so no console appears. The disguised script registers the installer as `username@hostname` with https://googleforum.pythonanywhere.com and then polls that endpoint for commands. The command handlers include `exec` (arbitrary shell via `subprocess.run(command, shell=True)`), plus list, download, upload, delete, rename, and open — a full remote-controlled shell and file manager driven by a hardcoded author endpoint, with no authentication beyond the username@hostname identifier. The `download` handler reads any path accessible to the user process, base64-encodes the contents, and POSTs them back to https://googleforum.pythonanywhere.com/api/client/<id>/result, enabling remote-triggered exfiltration of arbitrary files. For persistence, `_add_to_startup` writes an `AgentAIXManage` value under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run pointing at pythonw.exe plus the renamed script so the C2 client auto-starts at every user login. The payload fires the moment the module is imported, with no user interaction, and the readme.txt disguise plus hidden-window launch are deliberate evasion of casual inspection.

The package installs a persistent job that allows the attacker for exfiltrating files and executing remote code on the victim's machine.

Reasons (based on the campaign):

- files-exfiltration

- peristence-autorun

- The package contains code to execute remote commands (probably limited to a specific set) on the victim's machine.

- rat

- persistence

- Downloads and executes a remote malicious script.
