Am I affected? Affected: py-wormgpt 1.0.0. Fixed in: no fix reported yet.
- Check your version: run
pip show py-wormgpt. Versions 1.0.0 of py-wormgpt are affected.
What to do now
- Remove the package if it is installed: run
pip uninstall py-wormgpt. - There is no fixed version to upgrade to, because the advisory lists no patch.
General practice, not from the source: if the affected software could read tokens or credentials, rotate them after upgrading; pin versions and review changes before updating tools your agents run.
