Malicious PyPI Package Automslc: A Deezer Music Piracy Operation

2025-03-02

Researchers have uncovered a malicious PyPI package, automslc, enabling coordinated, unauthorized music downloads from Deezer. Downloaded over 100,000 times, it uses hardcoded credentials and a C2 server (54.39.49[.]17:8031) to bypass Deezer's API restrictions and download full tracks, violating Deezer's terms of service. The threat actor, using multiple accounts and a GitHub profile, orchestrates a distributed piracy operation, highlighting the importance of software supply chain security and the need for developers and organizations to protect themselves against such attacks.

cURL and Go Security Teams Reject Flawed CVSS Scoring System

2025-01-27

The cURL and Go security teams have publicly denounced the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) as flawed for assessing vulnerabilities, advocating for more accurate, context-aware approaches. CVSS's one-size-fits-all approach often leads to misleading scores, especially for projects like cURL with billions of installations. Daniel Stenberg, cURL's creator, highlighted CVSS's failure to account for specific contexts, resulting in inflated or inaccurate scores. The Go security team echoed these sentiments, opting for context-driven severity assessments instead. This highlights growing dissatisfaction with CVSS and pushes for better alternatives. However, this context-driven approach faces challenges, as maintainers struggle to accurately gauge all user scenarios. A culture clash between security researchers and open-source maintainers further complicates the issue, with researchers seeking recognition and maintainers focusing on practical impact. The NVD's backlog problem exacerbates the situation.
