Which versions of doge-linguist are malicious?

The following RubyGems versions of doge-linguist are flagged malicious: 0.1.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate doge-linguist if I installed it?

Remove doge-linguist 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 doge-linguist — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If doge-linguist 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.

How do I find doge-linguist across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?
