PROFILE
Behnaz Hassanshahi
Developed and maintained security-focused features for the ossf/malicious-packages repository, delivering structured threat intelligence and automated reporting for malicious PyPI packages. Leveraged Python and JSON to build reusable audit scripts, generate detailed malware detection reports, and create ingestible threat intelligence artifacts for security tooling. Applied skills in data analysis, malware analysis, and security reporting to document attack vectors such as arbitrary command execution, data exfiltration, and typo-squatting. Enhanced repository workflows by integrating report templates, automating data extraction, and ensuring traceability through signed-off commits. The work improved monitoring, incident response readiness, and overall supply-chain security for open source package ecosystems.

Feb 1, 2026February 2026: Delivered structured threat intelligence reporting for the ossf/malicious-packages repo, enabling faster detection and incident response for high-risk packages. The work documents malicious capabilities including execution of arbitrary commands and data exfiltration for malpkgv2-0, and a typo-squatting attempt on connect-eaas-core within cnnct-eaas-corre. JSON reports are crafted for straightforward ingestion into security tooling and IR workflows. All changes are committed with clear auditability through signed-off commits.
