Description

Malicious code in enhancer (PyPI)

Source: amazon-inspector

The distribution is published as enhancer but installs modules under the top-level safety namespace (setup.py declares namespace_packages=['safety'] and find_namespace_packages(include=['safety.*']), shipping safety/_python/ and safety/tools/). The real safety package on PyPI (PyUp vulnerability scanner) owns that import path, so any installer code or transitive dependency doing import safety.tools will resolve into attacker-controlled modules. safety/tools/__init__.py actively harvests sensitive values from pyUltroid.configs.Var (API_ID, API_HASH, DETA_KEY, SESSION, VC_SESSION, REDIS_PASSWORD, HEROKU_API, BOT_TOKEN) into a module-level _get_sys dict, then blanks them on the Var object and walks os.environ clearing any variable whose name contains those tokens — destructive mutation of installer state, regardless of whether this specific version includes a network sink. Package metadata is hostile/placeholder (author None, url https://fuckoff.com, description Not For U, README # safety-pip), reinforcing intent to be mistaken for the legitimate safety tool. Three independent block signals: namespace hijack, import-time secret/env mutation, and deceptive metadata.
