Summary
The package installs stdid_nyxprobe.pth into site-packages, whose sole content is import stdid_nyxprobe._beacon. Python's site.py mechanism evaluates this on every interpreter start after pip install, with no user-initiated import required. The imported module stdid_nyxprobe/_beacon.py collects host identifiers — hostname (socket.gethostname), LAN IP (via hostname -I), username (getpass.getuser), current working directory, and Python version — and POSTs them to https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/sendMessage using a hardcoded bot token (8984095380:AAHN...) and two hardcoded chat IDs (1841775463, -5380294525). A sentinel file at ~/.cache/.stdid_beacon_fired is written to suppress repeat beacons. The package has no documented legitimate functionality that would justify this behavior; the.pth auto-exec primitive is being used purely as a persistence/auto-trigger vector for the exfiltration payload.
