A user's first-person report (post dated 2024-06-09, Wayback snapshot of 2024-06-10) says the ComfyUI_LLMVISION custom node shipped custom openai/anthropic wheels in requirements.txt that contained browser-data theft code. ComfyUI-Manager's security_check.py (earliest commit in the path history: 2024-06-09) detects that node and some pip packages, terminates ComfyUI and prints cleanup steps; the same file later also lists ultralytics 8.3.41/8.3.42 and litellm 1.82.7/1.82.8. Comfy Org's own post on the ultralytics miner (2024-12-05) says Windows was not affected and that Manager was updated to warn users and to pin ultralytics to 8.3.40. A Manager commit on the same day (5a61000d) adds that pin when a pip_overrides.json file exists; the pin is absent at the later commit a74929c6, and its removal date is unknown. No Comfy-authored post about LLMVISION was found. Curator qualifications: Reddit snapshot (one user's account): 'The custom node has custom wheels for the OpenAI and Anthropic libraries in requirements.txt . Inside those wheels are malicious code'; data 'sent to a Discord server via webhook'; the reporter says a wheel labelled 1.16.2 installs a non-existent openai 1.16.3. security_check.py at the pin: node_blacklist ComfyUI_LLMVISION; pip_blacklist 'AppleBotzz' (any version), ultralytics==8.3.41/8.3.42, litellm==1.82.7/1.82.8 (guide cites 'PYSEC-2026-2' and BerriAI/litellm issue 24518); file_blacklist rundll64.exe and a lolMiner path; plus a heuristic flagging an installed 'anthropic' whose Requires line includes 'pycrypto'; on detection prints 'Malware has been detected, forcibly terminating ComfyUI execution.' and exit(-1). Blog: 'Windows is not affected'; Manager 'has been updated to check for these dependencies and warn the user' and 'will also automatically pin the ultralytics version to 8.3.40' (auto-pin not traced in code). Timeline: Manager's first security_check.py commit in the path listing is about 2 hours after the Reddit post time (lower bound, rename-blind). Amendments applied: CA-AM-0031. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.

Evidence claims

[sourced_fact] A user's first-person report (post dated 2024-06-09, Wayback snapshot of 2024-06-10) says the ComfyUI_LLMVISION custom node shipped custom openai/anthropic wheels in requirements.txt that contained browser-data theft code. ComfyUI-Manager's security_check.py (earliest commit in the path history: 2024-06-09) detects that node and some pip packages, terminates ComfyUI and prints cleanup steps; the same file later also lists ultralytics 8.3.41/8.3.42 and litellm 1.82.7/1.82.8. Comfy Org's own post on the ultralytics miner (2024-12-05) says Windows was not affected and that Manager was updated to warn users and to pin ultralytics to 8.3.40. A Manager commit on the same day (5a61000d) adds that pin when a pip_overrides.json file exists; the pin is absent at the later commit a74929c6, and its removal date is unknown.
