Malicious PyPI Package Exploits Deezer API for Coordinated Music Piracy
Socket researchers uncovered a malicious PyPI package exploiting Deezer’s API to enable coordinated music piracy through API abuse and C2 server control.
__init__
This package provides the asyncinit
decorator, which enables an asynchronous constructor
to be called like any other asynchronous function.
from asyncinit import asyncinit
@asyncinit
class MyClass:
async def __init__(self, param):
self.val = await self.deferredFn(param)
async def deferredFn(self, x):
# ...
return x + 2
obj = await MyClass(42)
assert obj.val == 44
This package requires Python >= 3.5.0 and can be installed with pip
:
pip install asyncinit
