## Overview


---
_-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_

## Source: amazon-inspector (86e89c263593521f9795193907958f4c642d34253fe9a65526dea1c681808760)
onsokets/run.py walks the Android primary storage path /storage/emulated/0/, collects files ending in.json,.py,.pyrubi, and.txt, zips them by extension, and POSTs each archive to https://tapi.bale.ai/bot<token>/sendDocument with chat_id 5263487757. The Bale bot token is hardcoded in the source as the default for BALE_BOT_TOKEN, so installing or running this package exfiltrates installer-owned source, configuration, and text files to an author-controlled Bale chat. The destination is not caller-configurable in any meaningful sense and does not relate to any declared purpose of the package.

## Source: kam193 (844774819aa502a53d6d364b6636fa62eb412fe8b30973c226aeb9b7b89865f9)
The package contains code for automated files exfiltration.
