Which versions of stats-helpers are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of stats-helpers are flagged malicious: 1.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate stats-helpers if I installed it?

stats-helpers 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 stats-helpers — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If stats-helpers 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 stats-helpers part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — stats-helpers is associated with the 2026-03-stats-helpers 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 stats-helpers across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for stats-helpers (version 1.0.0).
