Security researchers have discovered a malicious PyPI package named 'requests-darwin-lite' masquerading as a fork of the 'requests' library. The package contains the Golang-based Sliver C2 framework hidden in a PNG image. This backdoor was uncovered by researchers at Tidelift. In a separate incident, hackers targeted PyPI with a malicious Go binary hidden in an image. Additionally, critical vulnerabilities in the Cacti network monitoring tool have been exposed, urging users to update to version 1.2.27 to mitigate risks.
