This version was released on August 29, 2017, and it is recommended to update as soon as possible. PyPI has warned the users about the presence of a backdoor in the d8s-asns package, and PyPi has blocked the access to the package from all the users. The reason for this is the presence of a third-party package with a backdoor. In the PyPI page, the social engineering warning says: “A third party has repackaged one of the python package management sites and inserted a backdoor.” The affected version of the d8s-asns package is 0.1.0, released on August 29, 2017. So, if you are using any of the supported version of Python, then you are recommended to update as soon as possible.
