Which versions of aiogram-photo-updater are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of aiogram-photo-updater are flagged malicious: 1.0.0, 1.0.2. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate aiogram-photo-updater if I installed it?

aiogram-photo-updater 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 aiogram-photo-updater — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If aiogram-photo-updater 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.

Yes — aiogram-photo-updater is associated with the 2026-03-aiogram-photo-updater campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.
