Which versions of cloud-search are malicious?

The following RubyGems versions of cloud-search are flagged malicious: 0.2.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate cloud-search if I installed it?

Remove cloud-search 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 cloud-search — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If cloud-search 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 cloud-search part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — cloud-search is associated with the RLMA-2024-05639, RLUA-2024-10158, RLUA-2026-07933 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 cloud-search across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for cloud-search (version 0.2.0).
