Which versions of httpxc are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of httpxc are flagged malicious: 0.0.1. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate httpxc if I installed it?

Remove httpxc 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 httpxc — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If httpxc 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 httpxc part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — httpxc is associated with the RLMA-2024-04020, RLUA-2024-08381 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 httpxc across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for httpxc (version 0.0.1).

Detect & block this

O3 blocks httpxc-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the malicious outbound activity and severs the channel.
