Installing the package or importing the module exfiltrates basic information about the host, and the package has no other purpose.

Category: PROBABLY_PENTEST - Packages looking like typical pentest packages, but also anything that looks like testing, exploring pre-prepared kits, research & co, with clearly low-harm possibilities.

The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'ckanext-dms' @ 0.1.1 (pypi) as malicious.

It is considered malicious because:

• The package executes one or more commands associated with malicious behavior.
