Which versions of tonki are malicious?

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

How do I remediate tonki if I installed it?

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

If tonki 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 tonki part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — tonki is associated with the RLMA-2025-00537 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 tonki across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for tonki (version 1.0.0).
