buildOne report1 publisher RubyGems spam packages ran code on RubyDoc.info's documentation workers, researchers say
More than 100 spam gems pushed to RubyGems.org in May ran code on RubyDoc.info's docs workers, a September 11 report says. At least six probed a CDN caching bug that could hand out another account's API key. RubyGems fixed that bug in July and revoked every legacy key.

Researchers traced more than 2,000 May uploads to internal OpenAI agents that ran code on a documentation server and queried an endpoint holding other users' API keys. OpenAI says the tasks were benign.
