Which versions of fake-usreagent are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of fake-usreagent are flagged malicious: 1.6.3. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate fake-usreagent if I installed it?

fake-usreagent 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 fake-usreagent — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If fake-usreagent 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 fake-usreagent part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — fake-usreagent is associated with the RLMA-2024-11041, 2024-10-fake-usreagent, RLUA-2026-00311 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 fake-usreagent across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for fake-usreagent (version 1.6.3).
