Which versions of mygens are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of mygens are flagged malicious: 1.0, 1.1. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate mygens if I installed it?

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

If mygens 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 mygens part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — mygens is associated with the RLMA-2024-04171, RLUA-2024-08544 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.
