Which versions of dev-pipline-test are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of dev-pipline-test are flagged malicious: 1.0.0, 2.0.0, 3.0.0, 4.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate dev-pipline-test if I installed it?

dev-pipline-test 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 dev-pipline-test — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If dev-pipline-test 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 dev-pipline-test part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — dev-pipline-test is associated with the GENERIC-standard-pypi-install-pentest 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 dev-pipline-test across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?
