Follow-up and Clarification on Recent Malicious Ruby Gems Campaign
A clarification on our recent research investigating 60 malicious Ruby gems.
This simple ruby gem forces a process requiring it to use UTC timezone no matter what TZ value is configured in the environment.
I have created this gem to make sure our ruby projects would use the same timezone on development machines, testing containers, production servers and everywhere in between. Even when you try to configure rails and ruby to use a specific timezone, there is always some library that would use a system TZ value.
This ruby gem has been created at Swiftype.com for our internal use and then the sources were opened for other people to use. All the code in this package has been developed by Oleksiy Kovyrin for Swiftype.com and is released under the MIT license.
For more details, see LICENSE file.
