Data Theft Repackaged: A Case Study in Malicious Wrapper Packages on npm
The Socket Research Team breaks down a malicious wrapper package that uses obfuscation to harvest credentials and exfiltrate sensitive data.
patchelf-wrapper is a simple Python module that assists in the
installation of the *patchelf* <https://nixos.org/patchelf.html>

utility. It's intended for use with PyPI-hosted Python projects that
depend on patchelf. If you're an end-user of patchelf, you should look
elsewhere! (Perhaps your OS's package manager?)
Currently, patchelf-wrapper installs patchelf 0.11.
Ordinarily, you'll just want to set 'patchelf-wrapper'
as one of
your requirements (e.g. in setup.py
). If installing directly, you
can just use python setup.py install
or python setup.py build
as
usual; this respects all the usual options, including automatically
installing patchelf into the bin
dir of a virtualenv if one is
active.
In addition, patchelf-wrapper contains the following setup commands beyond the defaults:
check_patchelf
: Checks if patchelf is already installed on the
systembuild_patchelf
: Extract patchelf's source and build itinstall_patchelf
: Install patchelf to the chosen locationThis project is licensed under the BSD 3-clause license <LICENSE>
