Which versions of spiderai are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of spiderai are flagged malicious: 0.0.1, 0.0.2, 0.0.3, 0.1.0, 1.0, 1.1. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate spiderai if I installed it?

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

If spiderai 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 spiderai part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — spiderai is associated with the 2024-09-spider-ai 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 spiderai across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

What this malware does
