Overview
github.com/kaleidora/dnsub-scanning-tool is a malicious package. This package contains malicious code and while hile this package might be attempting to impersonate a legitimate DNS/subdomain scanning tool, there is no connection between that valid project and this package, which conceals a remote access trojan (RAT) and an infostealer. A malicious actor published this module as part of a larger GitHub malware lure network (tracked as Operation "Muck and Load") spanning over 222 repositories; this allowed the attacker to distribute a Windows malware-staging chain disguised as an active developer utility.
