Which versions of quickcolors are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of quickcolors are flagged malicious: 10.0.9. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate quickcolors if I installed it?

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

If quickcolors 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 quickcolors part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — quickcolors is associated with the RLMA-2025-02525, 2025-03-quicolor, RLUA-2026-00679 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 quickcolors across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for quickcolors (version 10.0.9).
