How do I remediate ckanext-dms if I installed it?

Remove ckanext-dms 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 ckanext-dms part of a known attack campaign?
