Which versions of octolytics are malicious?

The following RubyGems versions of octolytics are flagged malicious: 0.19.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate octolytics if I installed it?

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

If octolytics 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.

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for octolytics (version 0.19.0).
