Which versions of linode-developers are malicious?

The following npm versions of linode-developers are flagged malicious: 9.9.9. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate linode-developers if I installed it?

Remove linode-developers 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 linode-developers — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If linode-developers 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.
