Which versions of awsgluedq are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of awsgluedq are flagged malicious: 0.1.3, 6.1.3, 6.1.4. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate awsgluedq if I installed it?

Remove awsgluedq 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 awsgluedq — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If awsgluedq 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 awsgluedq part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — awsgluedq is associated with the RLMA-2025-01939, 2025-01-aws-glue, RLUA-2026-00130 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 awsgluedq across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for awsgluedq (3 malicious versions).
