Which versions of ellen_weather are malicious?

The following RubyGems versions of ellen_weather are flagged malicious: 0.0.1. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate ellen_weather if I installed it?

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

If ellen_weather 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.
