The routine fires both at module top-level (executed during pip's build/install of the sdist) and via a PostInstallCommand hooked into cmdclass={'install':...}, so it runs on pip install without user interaction. On CI/build agents the bulk os.environ dump routinely contains credentials such as AWS_*, GITHUB_TOKEN, NPM_TOKEN, PYPI_TOKEN, and other secret-shaped variables. The destination is an anonymous Cloudflare Workers subdomain unrelated to any declared publisher, the function is named analytics as a cover, and code lines are padded with trailing whitespace consistent with evasion of casual review.\n\n## Source: kam193 (4f4ae8fee891c54953efa7c796a605e700fc827131feff0243f0b3bc8bd6a260)\nDuring installation, package exfiltrates basic info and all environmental variables.\n\n\n---\n\nCategory: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers.\n\n\nCampaign: 2026-07-ml-shared\n\n\nReasons (based on the campaign):\n\n\n - exfiltration-env-variables\n\n\n - The package contains code to exfiltrate basic data from the system, like IP or username.
