Which versions of @rbacore/utils are malicious?

The following npm versions of @rbacore/utils are flagged malicious: 2.2.2. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate @rbacore/utils if I installed it?

Remove @rbacore/utils from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.

I already installed @rbacore/utils — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If @rbacore/utils was installed, its post-install payload may already have run. Removing the package does not undo that — check outbound connections and credential use from the install window onward.

Is @rbacore/utils part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — @rbacore/utils is associated with the RLMA-2025-04867 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find @rbacore/utils across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @rbacore/utils (version 2.2.2).
