MAL-2026-15927 Malicious code in qoeoe (PyPI)

The package ships a single module qoeoe/starts.py whose entire body is a lambda that base64-decodes a reversed ~108 KB string literal and passes the resulting ~80 KB opaque blob directly to exec(). qoeoe/init.py imports starts unconditionally, so the decoded payload runs on any import qoeoe. The package has an empty README, no advertised functionality, no readable API surface, and no legitimate reason to hide its module body behind reversed+base64 obfuscation piped to exec. This is the import-time loader/dropper shape: arbitrary attacker-controlled code executes on the installer's Python interpreter as soon as the package is imported.

The provided functionality hides code that exfiltrates files to a remote location.
