Which versions of prometheus_gcstat are malicious?

The following RubyGems versions of prometheus_gcstat are flagged malicious: 0.0.900, 0.1.900, 0.900.0, 1.900, 9002.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate prometheus_gcstat if I installed it?

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

If prometheus_gcstat 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 prometheus_gcstat part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — prometheus_gcstat is associated with the RLMA-2025-06623, RLUA-2026-08954 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 prometheus_gcstat across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?
