Which versions of py-c0ard are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of py-c0ard are flagged malicious: 1.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate py-c0ard if I installed it?

Remove py-c0ard 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 py-c0ard — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If py-c0ard 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 py-c0ard part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — py-c0ard is associated with the RLMA-2024-04360, RLUA-2024-08793 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 py-c0ard across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for py-c0ard (version 1.0.0).
