Which versions of alka10 are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of alka10 are flagged malicious: 0.1.3. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate alka10 if I installed it?

Remove alka10 from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.

I already installed alka10 — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If alka10 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 alka10 part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — alka10 is associated with the RLMA-2024-03541, RLUA-2024-07809 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 alka10 across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for alka10 (version 0.1.3).
