Which versions of requestpackat are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of requestpackat are flagged malicious: 1.0.1, 1.0.2. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate requestpackat if I installed it?

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

If requestpackat 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 requestpackat part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — requestpackat is associated with the RLMA-2025-03024, 2025-05-requestpackat, RLUA-2026-00704 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 requestpackat across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?
