Questions

About candyhttp

Is candyhttp safe to use?

No. Vulert records a malicious-package vulnerability for candyhttp: a published version contained hostile code rather than a bug, and the package looks like one that was withdrawn for abuse. Do not install it, and check whether it is already resolved in your dependencies.

How many vulnerabilities does candyhttp have?

1 vulnerability is recorded for candyhttp in the PyPI ecosystem: 1 critical, 0 high, 0 medium and 0 low. The ledger on this page lists the same counts next to the date of the most recent disclosure.

How often are new candyhttp vulnerabilities disclosed?

0 vulnerabilities were recorded for candyhttp in the last 12 months, and the oldest entry in this database dates to 23 Feb 2023. Recency matters more than a lifetime total: it shows how actively new issues are being disclosed for the package you are considering.

Which versions of candyhttp are affected?

Each vulnerability on this page lists the affected version range and the fixed version to move to. Open the vulnerability for the version you actually run — fixes are specific to a release line, not to the package as a whole.

What does a malicious-package vulnerability mean?

It means the published package itself contained hostile code — a backdoor, a credential stealer or similar — rather than only a bug. Registries remove such packages once they are confirmed, so treat any application that resolved an affected version as compromised and rotate the credentials it could reach.

How do I monitor candyhttp for upcoming vulnerabilities?

Upload the manifest or SBOM for your application at vulert.com/scanner and Vulert keeps checking the candyhttp version you actually run against new disclosures, then alerts you when one affects it. There is no installation and no source-code access required.
