Which versions of vertica-parser are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of vertica-parser are flagged malicious: 0.0.1, 99.9.9. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate vertica-parser if I installed it?

Remove vertica-parser 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 vertica-parser — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If vertica-parser 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 vertica-parser part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — vertica-parser is associated with the RLMA-2024-04997, RLUA-2024-09482, RLUA-2026-00890 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.
