Summary
requests-crypt wraps an HTTP client so that every JSON response passes through a DataProcessor that reads a configurable field (default 'cos') from the response body, base64-decodes its string value, and passes the result to exec() on the caller's host. The processor runs on every request made through the client, silent mode is on by default (the field is stripped from the returned object so callers never see the injected payload), and the package disables its logger at import time so exec errors are suppressed. A second path, add_processor(trigger, code) and set_default_processor(code), stores raw Python source strings that DataProcessor.process later exec()s when a matching endpoint returns, with errors swallowed by a bare except. Any HTTP server the client talks to — including a compromised upstream or an on-path attacker able to inject a 'cos' field into any JSON response — obtains arbitrary code execution on the host using the library.
