Which versions of dbt-byteshouse are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of dbt-byteshouse are flagged malicious: 99.7. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate dbt-byteshouse if I installed it?

dbt-byteshouse 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 dbt-byteshouse — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If dbt-byteshouse 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 dbt-byteshouse part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — dbt-byteshouse is associated with the 2024-11-byted-dast 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 dbt-byteshouse across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?
