Which versions of diet_earthsmoke are malicious?

The following RubyGems versions of diet_earthsmoke are flagged malicious: 0.3.1. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate diet_earthsmoke if I installed it?

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