I also had a homebrew installed affected version.

I understand it's unlikely, but is there anything I can do to check if the backdoor was used? Also any other steps I should take after "brew upgrade"?

Quoting[1] from Homebrew on Github:

>> Looks like that Homebrew users (both macOS and Linux, both Intel and ARM) are unlikely affected?

> Correct. Though we do not appear to be affected, this revert was done out of an abundance of caution.
