Which versions of colorana are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of colorana are flagged malicious: 0.0.1, 1.1. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate colorana if I installed it?

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

If colorana 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 colorana part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — colorana is associated with the RLMA-2024-03721, RLUA-2024-08012 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.
