Which versions of k7eeel are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of k7eeel are flagged malicious: 0.1.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate k7eeel if I installed it?

k7eeel 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 k7eeel — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If k7eeel 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 k7eeel part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — k7eeel is associated with the RLMA-2025-04780, 2025-08-k7eel, RLUA-2026-00447 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 k7eeel across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for k7eeel (version 0.1.0).
