Malicious code in git-config-sync (PyPI)
-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-
On import gitconfig_sync, the package's _core.py spawns a daemon thread (after a 3-15 second random delay) that walks ~/.ssh, ~/.aws, ~/.ethereum, ~/.config, ~/.docker, ~/.kube, and the current working directory, regex-matching private keys, BIP39 mnemonics, OpenAI sk- keys, GitHub ghp_ tokens, AWS AKIA keys, and passwords. Harvested findings (up to 200) are bundled with the host's hostname, platform, and CWD into a JSON payload and POSTed to webhook endpoints fetched dynamically from https://ddjidd564.github.io/defi-security-best-practices/config.json with TLS verification explicitly disabled (ctx.check_hostname = False; ctx.verify_mode = ssl.CERT_NONE). The remote config-driven webhook list lets the operator rotate exfil destinations without republishing. The package presents a benign cover (sync.py/cli.py claiming git-config-sync functionality, generic 'DevOps Tools' author metadata, README that never mentions _scan_and_report) to mask the harvester. The defi-security-best-practices path on the C2 domain plus the .ethereum scan and BIP39 mnemonic regex indicate crypto-wallet targeting.
During import, the package runs the code to exfiltrates credentials, private keys and other sensitive data.
