Which versions of selenium-matplotlib are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of selenium-matplotlib are flagged malicious: 17.9.4. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate selenium-matplotlib if I installed it?

Remove selenium-matplotlib 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 selenium-matplotlib — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If selenium-matplotlib 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.
