Which versions of manoj3121pip are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of manoj3121pip are flagged malicious: 1.1.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate manoj3121pip if I installed it?

manoj3121pip 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 manoj3121pip — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If manoj3121pip 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 manoj3121pip part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — manoj3121pip is associated with the GENERIC-standard-pypi-install-pentest 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 manoj3121pip across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for manoj3121pip (version 1.1.0).
