Which versions of tronapinet are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of tronapinet are flagged malicious: 0.0.1. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate tronapinet if I installed it?

tronapinet 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 tronapinet — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If tronapinet 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 tronapinet part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — tronapinet is associated with the RLMA-2025-03704, 2025-04-tronix, RLUA-2026-00838 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 tronapinet across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for tronapinet (version 0.0.1).
