Which versions of contributors-stats are malicious?

The following RubyGems versions of contributors-stats are flagged malicious: 1.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate contributors-stats if I installed it?

Remove contributors-stats 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 contributors-stats — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If contributors-stats 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.

Yes — contributors-stats is associated with the RLMA-2024-05648, RLUA-2024-10167, RLUA-2026-07943 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 contributors-stats across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for contributors-stats (version 1.0.0).
