Which versions of postgres-docker-utils are malicious?

The following npm versions of postgres-docker-utils are flagged malicious: 99.9.9. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate postgres-docker-utils if I installed it?

Remove postgres-docker-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 postgres-docker-utils — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If postgres-docker-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 postgres-docker-utils part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — postgres-docker-utils is associated with the RLMA-2026-05229, RLUA-2026-06388 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 postgres-docker-utils across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for postgres-docker-utils (version 99.9.9).
