Which versions of python-coinbase are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of python-coinbase are flagged malicious: 0.1. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate python-coinbase if I installed it?

Remove python-coinbase 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 python-coinbase — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If python-coinbase 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 python-coinbase part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — python-coinbase is associated with the RLMA-2025-02591 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 python-coinbase across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for python-coinbase (version 0.1).

Detect & block this

O3 blocks python-coinbase-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the malicious outbound activity and severs the channel.
