There are also variations with AWS clients\n\nApparently, the campaign started at least 2 years ago with the snapshot-photo package containing the same functionality as the newer time-check-server (see https://github.com/pypi-data/pypi-mirror-238/blob/code/packages/snapshot-photo/snapshot_photo-0.0.3-py3-none-any.whl/snapshot_photo/date_format.py).\n\n\n---\n\nCategory: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers.\n\n\nCampaign: 2025-02-alicloud-client\n\n\nReasons (based on the campaign):\n\n\n - clones-real-package\n\n\n - action-hidden-in-lib-usage\n\n\n - The malicious code is intentionally included in a dependency of the package\n\n\n - exfiltration-cloud-tokens\n","affected":[{"package":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"serverkeeper-verifier","purl":"pkg:pypi/serverkeeper-verifier"},"versions":["1.0.1"]}],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/pypi-data/pypi-mirror-238/blob/code/packages/snapshot-photo/snapshot_photo-0.0.3-py3-none-any.whl/snapshot_photo/date_format.py"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://x.com/ReversingLabs/status/1900198602242204003"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://thehackernews.com/2025/03/malicious-pypi-packages-stole-cloud.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://bad-packages.kam193.eu/pypi/package/serverkeeper-verifier"}],"credits":[{"name":"Kamil Mańkowski (kam193)","contact":["https://github.com/kam193","https://bad-packages.kam193.eu/"]},{"name":"Kamil Mańkowski (kam193)","type":"REPORTER","contact":["https://github.com/kam193","https://bad-packages.kam193.eu/"]},{"name":"ReversingLabs","type":"FINDER","contact":["https://www.reversinglabs.com"]}],"database_specific":{"iocs":{"domains":["checktimeserver.org","aliyun-sdk-requests.xyz"],"urls":["https://api.checktimeserver.org/","https://api.aliyun-sdk-requests.xyz/"]},"malicious-packages-origins":[{"source":"reversing-labs","sha256":"057bf5e05699ba2f3ef1bb184b416c68f23932258fbd8dd47e02a9190b17484b","import_time":"2025-08-01T10:07:13.733004792Z","id":"RLMA-2025-03682","modified_time":"2025-07-31T19:16:24Z","versions":["1.0.1"]},{"source":"kam193","sha256":"94f6a91a9f56d1123737d8f434748eaeb7f4ec0025b593e4a244b55e40ac9d33","import_time":"2025-12-02T22:30:55.570119498Z","id":"pypi/2025-02-alicloud-client/serverkeeper-verifier","modified_time":"2025-02-25T18:18:21Z","ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}]},{"source":"kam193","sha256":"62ec235d314e175928f82504dade8d7f8313bc88707038976e5be6d78709b869","import_time":"2025-12-02T23:07:18.611976471Z","id":"pypi/2025-02-alicloud-client/serverkeeper-verifier","modified_time":"2025-02-25T18:18:21Z","ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}]},{"source":"kam193","sha256":"c3177977a0e995a54237cc44b9cd9f97921d9bb0d78e49d501931fefd2bbc703","import_time":"2025-12-10T21:38:57.812359893Z","id":"pypi/2025-02-alicloud-client/serverkeeper-verifier","modified_time":"2025-02-25T18:18:21Z","versions":["1.0.1"]},{"source":"kam193","sha256":"e850e344fd44ff63942fad37589b12a7297490f753d2df5776c9f08806aef63e","import_time":"2026-01-30T19:43:58.383240875Z","id":"pypi/2025-02-alicloud-client/serverkeeper-verifier","modified_time":"2025-02-25T18:18:21Z","versions":["1.0.1"]}]}}
