Which versions of requests-2022 are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of requests-2022 are flagged malicious: 3.22.6. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate requests-2022 if I installed it?

Remove requests-2022 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 requests-2022 — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If requests-2022 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 requests-2022 part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — requests-2022 is associated with the RLMA-2025-04239 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 requests-2022 across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for requests-2022 (version 3.22.6).
