Which versions of sm8250qrdg are malicious?

The following RubyGems versions of sm8250qrdg are flagged malicious: 0.0.1. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate sm8250qrdg if I installed it?

Remove sm8250qrdg 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 sm8250qrdg — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If sm8250qrdg 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 sm8250qrdg part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — sm8250qrdg is associated with the RLMA-2026-03461, RLUA-2026-09359 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 sm8250qrdg across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for sm8250qrdg (version 0.0.1).
