Which versions of zztxtwtmp12 are malicious?

The following RubyGems versions of zztxtwtmp12 are flagged malicious: 0.0.1. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate zztxtwtmp12 if I installed it?

Remove zztxtwtmp12 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 zztxtwtmp12 — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If zztxtwtmp12 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 — zztxtwtmp12 is associated with the RLMA-2026-04650, RLUA-2026-10588 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 zztxtwtmp12 across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for zztxtwtmp12 (version 0.0.1).
