Official description
Review of the shellgrip 0.1.0 pypi package did not surface any evidence of installer-side harm. No install-time or import-time network activity, no credential or environment harvesting, no filesystem persistence, no dropper or fetch-and-execute pattern, and no silent-relay behavior were observed in the shipped files.
This campaign consists of similar loader packages, which provide executing code from a given URL. While they do not contain the malicious payload and the usage remains unknown, they are clearly a coordinated campaign to place multiple deceptive ways to load malicious code.
