Which versions of selenium-stealth-utils are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of selenium-stealth-utils are flagged malicious: 2.0.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2, 2.0.3, 2.0.5, 2.0.7, 2.0.8, 2.0.9, 2.1.0, 2.1.3, 2.1.4, 2.1.7, 2.1.8, 2.2.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate selenium-stealth-utils if I installed it?

selenium-stealth-utils 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 selenium-stealth-utils — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If selenium-stealth-utils 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 selenium-stealth-utils part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — selenium-stealth-utils is associated with the 2025-08-selenium-stealth-helper campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.
