Which versions of apl-github-test are malicious?

The following npm versions of apl-github-test are flagged malicious: 9.9.9. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate apl-github-test if I installed it?

Remove apl-github-test 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 apl-github-test — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If apl-github-test 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 apl-github-test part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — apl-github-test is associated with the RLMA-2026-01887 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.
