Which versions of skyoauth2 are malicious?

The following npm versions of skyoauth2 are flagged malicious: 2.0.2. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate skyoauth2 if I installed it?

Remove skyoauth2 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 skyoauth2 — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If skyoauth2 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.

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for skyoauth2 (version 2.0.2).
