Which versions of wprox-c217-0fossil are malicious?

The following RubyGems versions of wprox-c217-0fossil are flagged malicious: 0.0.1. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate wprox-c217-0fossil if I installed it?

wprox-c217-0fossil establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.

I already installed wprox-c217-0fossil — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If wprox-c217-0fossil 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.

Yes — wprox-c217-0fossil is associated with the RLMA-2026-04097, RLUA-2026-10029 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.
