Which versions of tikweb are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of tikweb are flagged malicious: 1.0.4, 1.0.5. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate tikweb if I installed it?

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

If tikweb 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.
