        Maybe they forgot to include the Effects™ Library?

    Is this newly submitted packages which are malware, or existing packages which had malware introduced to them? And is there a list of affected packages anywhere?

      They’re existing packages that were abandoned by the original authors and then had ownership claimed by malicious parties

      It looks like they were existing packages.

      List here: https://cscs.pastes.sh/raw/aurvulnlist20260611.txt

      Got that from: https://discuss.cachyos.org/t/aur-compromised-1500-packages-affected-20260611/31040
      They have a script that can check if you have any of them.
