Which versions of request-wizard are malicious?

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

How do I remediate request-wizard if I installed it?

request-wizard 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 request-wizard — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If request-wizard 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 request-wizard part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — request-wizard is associated with the RLMA-2025-02528, 2024-09-hyperreq, RLUA-2026-00703 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 request-wizard across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for request-wizard (version 1.0.0).
