Which versions of awsglueml are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of awsglueml are flagged malicious: 6.1.4. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate awsglueml if I installed it?

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

If awsglueml 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 awsglueml part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — awsglueml is associated with the RLMA-2025-01940, 2025-01-aws-glue, RLUA-2026-00131 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 awsglueml across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for awsglueml (version 6.1.4).
