Which versions of browser-web are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of browser-web are flagged malicious: 1.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate browser-web if I installed it?

Remove browser-web 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 browser-web — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If browser-web 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 browser-web part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — browser-web is associated with the RLMA-2024-03613, RLUA-2024-07895 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 browser-web across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for browser-web (version 1.0).
