Problem

Proprietary ReversingLabs malware detection algorithms have determined that the software package contains one or more malicious components. The detection was made by either a static byte signature, software component identity, or a complete file hash. This malware detection method is considered highly accurate, and can typically attribute malware to previously discovered software supply chain attacks. It is common to have multiple supply chain attack artifacts that relate to a single malware incident.

If the software intent does not relate to malicious behavior, investigate the build and release environment for software supply chain compromise.

Avoid using this software package.

Problem

Threat researchers have manually inspected the software package and determined that it contains one or more malicious files. The detection was made by a hash-based file reputation lookup. This malware detection method is considered highly accurate, and can typically identify the malware family by name.

Investigate the build and release environment for software supply chain compromise.

Avoid using this software package.

Problem

Software components contain executable code that performs actions implemented during its development. These actions are called behaviors. In the analysis report, behaviors are presented as human-readable descriptions that best match the underlying code intent. While most behaviors are benign, some are exclusively used by malicious software with the intent to cause harm. When a software package matches behavior traits of malicious software, it becomes flagged by security solutions. It is highly likely that the software package was tampered with by a malicious actor or a rogue insider. Detected threat type matches the behaviors typically exhibited by the infostealer malware profile. Infostealers are commonly used to steal sensitive user data such as stored login details, financial information, and other personally identifiable information.

Next steps

Investigate reported detections.

Investigate your build and release environment for software supply chain compromise.

You should delay the software release until the investigation is completed.

In the case this behavior is intended, rewrite the flagged code without using the malware-like behaviors.

Problem

Software developers use programming and design knowledge to build reusable software components. Software components are the basic building blocks for modern applications. Software consumed by an enterprise consists of hundreds, and sometimes even thousands of open source components. Software developers publish components they have authored to public repositories. The ReversingLabs community package index may place software packages into quarantine during an ongoing security incident investigation. When a software project is placed into quarantine, it is typically unavailable for installation. Additionally, repository maintainers may also hide quarantined software projects from users that might stumble upon them using repository search functions. Quarantine is typically raised for software projects that were reported for unusual code changes or unexpected software behaviors.

No prevalence information at this time

Next steps

Inspect behaviors exhibited by the detected software components.

If the software behaviors differ from expected, investigate the build and release environment for software supply chain compromise.

Revise the use of components that raise these alarms. If you can't deprecate those components, make sure they are well-documented.

Avoid using this software package until it is vetted as safe.

Problem

Software components contain executable code that performs actions implemented during its development. These actions are called behaviors. In the analysis report, behaviors are presented as human-readable descriptions that best match the underlying code intent. Python Package Index (PyPI) repository is often abused by threat actors to publish software packages that exhibit malicious behaviors. Malware authors use numerous tactics to lure developers into including malicious PyPI packages in their software projects. Most malicious packages published on PyPI target developers and their workstations. However, some are designed to activate only when deployed in the end-user environment. Both types of Python malicious packages are detected by proprietary ReversingLabs threat hunting algorithms. This detection method is considered proactive, and it is based on Machine Learning (ML) algorithms that can detect novel malware. The detection is strongly influenced by behaviors that software components exhibit. Behaviors similar to previously discovered malware and software supply chain attacks may cause some otherwise benign software packages to be detected by this policy.

FAQ for alicloud-client

What is alicloud-client?

cloud client.

Is alicloud-client malicious or is it safe to use?

The Python package alicloud-client has been removed from registry. It was scanned for malware, software tampering, risky behaviors, exposed secrets and known vulnerabilities. Malware or tampering has been detected, making it unsafe to use. 3 other issues and risky behaviors were found. The package contains risks, and the analysis results should be reviewed before it is used. Visit the Issues and Behaviors sections of the analysis for more details. All versions of the alicloud-client package were malicious.

Is alicloud-client popular?

The Python package alicloud-client is not widely used. It has 692 recorded downloads. A package's popularity is not a good indicator of its safety, visit the SAFE Assessment section to see the full analysis of package deployment risk categories.

How do I secure alicloud-client once it is in my app?

Since we can't know when or where malicious attacks will happen, we recommend tracking how alicloud-client behaviors change over multiple software releases. By adopting differential analysis in your release process, you can detect unexpected changes to a alicloud-client version, which can prevent advanced software supply chain attacks. Read how our technology can help prevent future attacks similar to SolarWinds and 3CX.

Did you know...

... that you can use ReversingLabs’ Spectra Assure platform to perform regular risk assessments of packages you develop in-house?

We recommend continuous software safeness monitoring through CI/CD integrations and pre-release/deployment checks. In addition to basic package information found on this page our platform offers rich reports for developers and DevSecOps that help them remediate all reported issues.
