Which versions of dog-biscuits are malicious?

The following RubyGems versions of dog-biscuits are flagged malicious: 0.5.9. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate dog-biscuits if I installed it?

Remove dog-biscuits 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 dog-biscuits — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If dog-biscuits 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 dog-biscuits part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — dog-biscuits is associated with the RLMA-2024-05670, RLUA-2024-10189, RLUA-2026-08008 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 dog-biscuits across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for dog-biscuits (version 0.5.9).
