Which versions of utilitytools are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of utilitytools are flagged malicious: 0.0.1, 0.0.2, 0.0.3, 0.0.5, 0.0.6, 0.0.7, 0.0.8, 0.0.9. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate utilitytools if I installed it?

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

If utilitytools 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 utilitytools part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — utilitytools is associated with the RLMA-2024-09479 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 utilitytools across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?
