Importing the module starts an infostealer Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers.

Which versions of aounitaounit2 are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of aounitaounit2 are flagged malicious: 0.0.1. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate aounitaounit2 if I installed it?

aounitaounit2 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 aounitaounit2 — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If aounitaounit2 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 aounitaounit2 part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — aounitaounit2 is associated with the 2025-11-mescouilles, RLMA-2025-06553, RLUA-2026-00070 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 aounitaounit2 across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for aounitaounit2 (version 0.0.1).
