Which versions of devkitx are malicious?

The following npm versions of devkitx are flagged malicious: 5.6.4. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate devkitx if I installed it?

Remove devkitx 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 network activity or persistence. Use O3 Security's dependency scanner to confirm the package and its artifacts are fully purged across your stack.

Is devkitx part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — devkitx is associated with the GHSA-x77g-g3p5-frhh campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

Can O3 Security detect devkitx in my codebase?

Yes. O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, blocking devkitx and packages like it before any post-install script runs.
