Which versions of quantumania are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of quantumania are flagged malicious: 0.0.3. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate quantumania if I installed it?

Remove quantumania 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 quantumania — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If quantumania 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 quantumania part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — quantumania is associated with the RLMA-2026-00678 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 quantumania across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for quantumania (version 0.0.3).
