Which versions of requestsdev are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of requestsdev are flagged malicious: 1.3.6. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate requestsdev if I installed it?

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

If requestsdev 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 requestsdev part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — requestsdev is associated with the RLMA-2025-03026, RLUA-2025-06586 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 requestsdev across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for requestsdev (version 1.3.6).
