Which versions of systemdemon are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of systemdemon are flagged malicious: 2.9. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate systemdemon if I installed it?

Remove systemdemon 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 systemdemon — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If systemdemon 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 systemdemon part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — systemdemon is associated with the RLMA-2024-04895, RLUA-2024-09363 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 systemdemon across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for systemdemon (version 2.9).
