Which versions of pyqt6darktheme are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of pyqt6darktheme are flagged malicious: 0.1.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate pyqt6darktheme if I installed it?

pyqt6darktheme 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 pyqt6darktheme — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If pyqt6darktheme 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 pyqt6darktheme part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — pyqt6darktheme is associated with the 2026-07-pyqt6darktheme 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 pyqt6darktheme across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for pyqt6darktheme (version 0.1.0).
