Which versions of datadog_notifications are malicious?

The following RubyGems versions of datadog_notifications are flagged malicious: 0.6.2. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate datadog_notifications if I installed it?

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

If datadog_notifications 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 — datadog_notifications is associated with the RLMA-2024-05665, RLUA-2024-10184, RLUA-2026-07969 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 datadog_notifications across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for datadog_notifications (version 0.6.2).
