Package attempts to collect environment variables from a specific environment, self-identified as BigQuery user-defined functions research. The final exfiltration of collected data seems to require the control of the execution environment, supporting the research/pentest claims.
Category: PROBABLY_PENTEST - Packages looking like typical pentest packages, but also anything that looks like testing, exploring pre-prepared kits, research & co, with clearly low-harm possibilities.
Campaign: 2026-10-crelic-bqwheel-52f66a3f1d
Reasons (based on the campaign):
abuses-pth
exfiltration-env-variables
