PyPI Package Disguised as Instagram Growth Tool Harvests User Credentials
A deceptive PyPI package posing as an Instagram growth tool collects user credentials and sends them to third-party bot services.
Library that takes as input config and datasets for highcharts, and outputs SVG image of rendered chart
Using chrome-driver
Make sure you have chrome-driver installed On Alpine v3.10, run:
echo "https://dl-4.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.10/main" >> /etc/apk/repositories
echo "https://dl-4.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.10/community" >> /etc/apk/repositories
apk update
apk add chromium chromium-chromedriver
Once chrome driver is successfully installed, install the library itself:
Use the package manager pip to install ut2chartrenderer.
pip
installation instructions are here
pip install ut2chartrender
Import library
import ut2chartrender
Define settings in such way:
settings = {
"options": {
"title": {
"text": "Atmosphere Temperature by Altitude"
},
"subtitle": {
"text": "According to the Standard Atmosphere Model"
},
"xAxis": {
"reversed": false,
"title": {
"enabled": true,
"text": "Altitude"
},
"labels": {
"formatter": "function () { return this.value + \"km\"; }"
},
"maxPadding": 0.05,
"showLastLabel": true
},
"yAxis": {
"title": {
"text": "Temperature"
},
"labels": {
"formatter": "function () { return this.value + \"°\"; }"
},
"lineWidth": 2
},
"legend": {
"enabled": true
},
"tooltip": {
"headerFormat": "<b>{series.name}</b><br/>",
"pointFormat": "{point.x} km: {point.y}°C"
}
},
"datasets": [
{
"name": "Temperature by altitude",
"series_type": "spline",
"marker": {
"enabled": true
},
"data": [
[0, 15],[10, -50],[20, -56.5],[30, -46.5],[40, -22.1],[50, -2.5],[60, -27.7],[70, -55.7],[80, -76.5]
]
}
]
}
Finally generate chart: Way #1:
svg_xml = ut2chartrender.generate_chart(**settings)
or way #2:
svg_xml = ut2chartrender.generate_chart(
options=settings["options"],
datasets=settings["datasets"
)
If you dump svg_xml
variable, you should see something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?><!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"><svg class="highcharts-root" height="400" style='font-family:"Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;' version="1.1" viewbox="0 0 800 400" width="800" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
which is an SVG file contents
