Which versions of piko-smart-sys are malicious?

The following RubyGems versions of piko-smart-sys are flagged malicious: 0.0.1. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate piko-smart-sys if I installed it?

Remove piko-smart-sys 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 piko-smart-sys — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If piko-smart-sys 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 piko-smart-sys part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — piko-smart-sys is associated with the RLMA-2026-05741 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 piko-smart-sys across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for piko-smart-sys (version 0.0.1).
