The pyhton script attempts to retrieve code from a hardcoded http URL that is obfuscated with base64 encoding and run the response body directly.\n\nThe impact is that arbitrary code can be invoked as the user, without a dropped script being saved on the affected host.\n\nThe releases have no test scripts nor build hooks.  The intention may have been to trigger the payload after installation.\n\nFor version 1.01, the dropper script is in lib/Crypt/SelfCertificate/sample/validate.p12.\n\nFor version 1.05, the dropper script is in lib/Crypt/SelfCertificate/sample/cert7.pem.\n\nThe SHA-256 digests of the files are\n\n    fbff21f45ff748365062a5e36fb2d72558cad82a507a6f357f320b4fcdf07760 Crypt-SelfCertificate-1.01.tar.gz\n    27b2d2d3174ad771474fff2521f5084ec231e9218ea8c832515aef1cbd5897bc lib/Crypt/SelfCertificate/sample/validate.p12\n\n    9fdfa7d69b034b77d4510cda567e8da1e486ca81c7daaadc5732a45c41d71991 Crypt-SelfCertificate-1.05.tar.gz\n    27b2d2d3174ad771474fff2521f5084ec231e9218ea8c832515aef1cbd5897bc lib/Crypt/SelfCertificate/sample/cert7.pem",
