Which versions of bo3to are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of bo3to are flagged malicious: 0.1. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate bo3to if I installed it?

bo3to 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 bo3to — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If bo3to 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 bo3to part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — bo3to is associated with the RLMA-2024-10983, 2024-09-bondonioanderas-cryptominer, RLUA-2026-00152 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 bo3to across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for bo3to (version 0.1).
