Which versions of lbank-connector-pythons are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of lbank-connector-pythons are flagged malicious: 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate lbank-connector-pythons if I installed it?

lbank-connector-pythons 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 lbank-connector-pythons — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If lbank-connector-pythons 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 lbank-connector-pythons part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — lbank-connector-pythons is associated with the RLMA-2025-05615, GENERIC-standard-pypi-install-pentest, RLUA-2026-00466 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.
