Which versions of greater-than are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of greater-than are flagged malicious: 10.0.5. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate greater-than if I installed it?

greater-than 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 greater-than — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If greater-than 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 greater-than part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — greater-than is associated with the RLMA-2025-04173, 2025-07-triple-equals, RLUA-2026-00367 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 greater-than across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for greater-than (version 10.0.5).
