Which versions of treadtools are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of treadtools are flagged malicious: 1.0.0, 1.0.1. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate treadtools if I installed it?

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

If treadtools 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 treadtools part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — treadtools is associated with the RLMA-2024-11192 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.
