Which versions of 3web are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of 3web are flagged malicious: 1.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate 3web if I installed it?

3web is built to steal secrets, so assume every credential the build or runtime could read is compromised. Remove it from your project and lockfile, then rotate ALL exposed secrets — npm/registry tokens, cloud keys, CI/CD secrets, SSH keys, and any .env values — from a known-clean machine. Audit logs for unauthorized use of those credentials.

I already installed 3web — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If 3web was installed, its post-install payload may already have run. Removing the package does not undo that — check outbound connections and credential use from the install window onward.

Is 3web part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — 3web is associated with the RLMA-2024-07769, funcaptcha-ru campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find 3web across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for 3web (version 1.0.0).
