Which versions of dbnodeindicator are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of dbnodeindicator are flagged malicious: 0.1.0, 0.1.1. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate dbnodeindicator if I installed it?

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

If dbnodeindicator 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 dbnodeindicator part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — dbnodeindicator is associated with the RLMA-2025-03583, 2025-07-db-indicator, RLUA-2026-00251 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.
