Which versions of py-cordq are malicious?

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

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

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

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

Yes — py-cordq is associated with the RLMA-2024-04388, RLUA-2024-08821 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-cordq across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

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