Make absolutely sure to include `-a` so it doesn't nuke your env file, and generally speaking, one should upgrade to a version without the malicious code and restart, of course.


> without the malicious code and restart

i wonder if the malicious code would've installed a more permanent backdoor elsewhere that would remain after a restart.

I recall things like on windows where malware would replace your keyboard drivers or mouse drivers with their own ones that had the malware/virus, so that even if the original malware is removed, the system is never safe again. You'd have to wipe. And this is not even counting any firmware that might've been dropped.
