SECURITY RESEARCH CANARY — PyPI lore-cs
This distribution is intentionally inert and is published solely as a
dependency-confusion proof of concept under the Epic Games HackerOne bug
bounty program.
- It reports ONLY build-environment metadata: the package name, the machine
hostname, the install path inside
site-packages, and the process cwd.
- It sends that as a single
POST to http://185.158.107.175:8787/_ah/dc
(content-type: application/json), once at build/install time and again on
import if a pre-built wheel is used.
- It does not read environment variables, files, credentials, or tokens, and it
never fails the build or import.
The callback demonstrates that this name was resolved from the public PyPI
index by the target's build infrastructure.
