Which versions of render-stage are malicious?

Every published version of render-stage on npm is considered malicious. Remove the package entirely.

How do I remediate render-stage if I installed it?

Remove render-stage 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 render-stage — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If render-stage 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.

How do I find render-stage across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for render-stage (all published versions).
