MAL-2026-18165 Malicious code in soundsocket (PyPI)

No install-time or import-time behavior consistent with credential access, outbound exfiltration, remote code fetch/execution, persistence, or silent-relay was observed in this package version. No lifecycle hooks performing network I/O, no.pth side effects beyond sys.path handling, and no top-level subprocess/network activity were identified 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.

Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers.
