Urgent advisory: the Python package 'elementary-data' version 0.23.3 is malicious; users must uninstall it, install 0.23.4, delete caches, check for marker files (/tmp/.trinny-security-update on macOS/Linux and %TEMP%\.trinny-security-update on Windows), and rotate any exposed credentials while security teams hunt for unauthorized usage.
