Which versions of spider_node are malicious?

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

How do I remediate spider_node if I installed it?

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

If spider_node 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 spider_node part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — spider_node is associated with the RLMA-2024-05834, RLUA-2024-10355, RLUA-2026-09411 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 spider_node across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

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