Which versions of clip-logger are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of clip-logger are flagged malicious: 1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3, 1.0.4, 1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.2. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate clip-logger if I installed it?

clip-logger 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 clip-logger — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If clip-logger 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 clip-logger part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — clip-logger is associated with the 2026-06-clip-logger 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 clip-logger across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

What this malware does

The package contains code to steal clipboard content to a predefined remote location. If run in the right way, the code will periodically check the clipboard and if the content matches the pattern, exfiltrates it. Early versions contain this behavior mentioned in the README. The targeted data are likely cryptocurrency secret seed phrases.
