Incident Report: Organizations Team privileges

On April 14, 2025 security@pypi.org was notified of a potential security concern relating to privileges granted to a PyPI User via Organization Teams membership persisting after the User was removed from the PyPI Organization the Team belongs to.

We validated the report as a true finding, identified all cases where this scenario had occurred, notified impacted parties, and released a fix. A full audit determined that all instances were accounted for, with no unauthorized actions taken as a result of the issue.

PyPI Now Supports Project Archival

Support for marking projects as archived has landed on PyPI. Maintainers can now archive a project to let users know that the project is not expected to receive any more updates.

This allows users to make better decisions about which packages they depend on, especially regarding supply-chain security, since archived projects clearly signal that no future security fixes or maintenance should be expected.
