Which versions of discord-install-helper are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of discord-install-helper are flagged malicious: 0.0.13, 0.0.14. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate discord-install-helper if I installed it?

Remove discord-install-helper 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 discord-install-helper — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If discord-install-helper 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.

Yes — discord-install-helper is associated with the RLMA-2024-03844, RLUA-2024-08141 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.
