Which versions of panda-lib are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of panda-lib are flagged malicious: 2.3.6. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate panda-lib if I installed it?

Remove panda-lib 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 panda-lib — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If panda-lib 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 panda-lib part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — panda-lib is associated with the RLMA-2024-04233, RLUA-2024-08657 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 panda-lib across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for panda-lib (version 2.3.6).
