AML.T0011.001
Malicious Package

MITRE source definition

Adversaries may develop malicious software packages that when imported by a user have a deleterious effect. Malicious packages may behave as expected to the user. They may be introduced via [AI Supply Chain Compromise](/techniques/AML.T0010). They may not present as obviously malicious to the user and may appear to be useful for an AI-related task.

Simulation and telemetry boundary

This is a technique reference page, not a runnable simulation. No ATLAS-specific telemetry mapping, local attack execution or detector validation is asserted. MITRE maturity describes its source evidence, not a 1200km lab result.

For broader context—not technique-specific control mappings—see AI Security, AI Security Course, and detection-validation methodology.
