The following RubyGems versions of alipay-escrow are flagged malicious: 0.1.3. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate alipay-escrow if I installed it?

I already installed alipay-escrow — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If alipay-escrow 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.
