Description

Source: amazon-inspector (e150a2084afb57b865384c624d91da477fe2a6ac09e84640a4f831a4a9b48a56)

On import xAyOuB_XcTxTeaM, init.py automatically starts a Flask HTTP server bound to 0.0.0.0:50019 exposing /spam?uid=, /stop, and /status endpoints. Any remote party able to reach the installer's host on that port can supply an arbitrary uid and cause the package to drive outbound abuse traffic from the installer's IP. In parallel, import-time background threads log in ~20 hardcoded Garena Free Fire guest accounts (shipped as accounts.json in the sdist) against loginbp.ggpolarbear.com and 100067.connect.garena.com using a hardcoded OAuth client_id=100067 and client_secret, open game rooms, and emit openroom/spmroom/SEnd_InV invite-spam packets to the remote-supplied target. TLS verification is disabled for the game-service HTTPS calls (verify=False, ssl._create_unverified_context(), urllib3.disable_warnings). The package additionally ships 20 uid:password pairs and a Garena OAuth client secret in cleartext. Installing/importing this package exposes an unauthenticated remote-control interface on the installer's host and uses the installer's IP as an abuse source against a third-party service.
