Which versions of cryptowallethash are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of cryptowallethash are flagged malicious: 0.0.6, 0.0.7, 0.0.8. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate cryptowallethash if I installed it?

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

If cryptowallethash 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 cryptowallethash part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — cryptowallethash is associated with the 2026-02-old-cryptowallethash 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 cryptowallethash across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?
