Which versions of rolib are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of rolib are flagged malicious: 0.0.1. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate rolib if I installed it?

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

If rolib 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 rolib part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — rolib is associated with the RLMA-2024-09220, 2024-08-embeds-RealtekHDAudioManager, RLUA-2026-00729 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 rolib across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for rolib (version 0.0.1).

Part of a larger attack: 2024-08-embeds-RealtekHDAudioManager published 40 malicious packages. See the full campaign →

Detect & block this

O3 blocks rolib-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
