Which versions of sqlalchemy-install are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of sqlalchemy-install are flagged malicious: 10.9.4. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate sqlalchemy-install if I installed it?

Remove sqlalchemy-install 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 sqlalchemy-install — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If sqlalchemy-install 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.

How do I find sqlalchemy-install across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for sqlalchemy-install (version 10.9.4).
