Which versions of zwkopt10 are malicious?

The following RubyGems versions of zwkopt10 are flagged malicious: 0.0.3499. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate zwkopt10 if I installed it?

Remove zwkopt10 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 zwkopt10 — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If zwkopt10 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 — zwkopt10 is associated with the RLMA-2026-04524, RLUA-2026-10462 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 zwkopt10 across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for zwkopt10 (version 0.0.3499).
