How to fix?

Avoid using all malicious instances of the feur package.

Overview

feur is a malicious package. Once installed, the package executes a 'setup.py' file containing two base64-encoded strings. The first one establishes a reverse shell connection to an Ngrok tunnel. The second encodes a Windows Executable (EXE) file, which is a Remote Access Trojan (RAT) that runs immediately after the package installation.
