devplatform-api-endpointnpm
Advisory published Updated
devplatform-api-endpoint is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12692) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 35.2.9). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in devplatform-api-endpoint (npm)
What this malware does
On require() of the package's main entry, index.js unconditionally loads bootstrap.js, which fetches a platform-specific binary from Cloudflare Workers hosts whose names are constructed by concatenating fragmented string literals (oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev). The downloaded bytes are written to a temp path with a masquerading filename (dotnet_diag.exe,.cache_), chmod 0755'd, and spawned detached via child_process (/bin/sh -c or cmd.exe /c start). A DNS-TXT covert-channel fallback resolves TXT records under *.dl.wel1.ru (sdk.dl.wel1.ru, ext.dl.wel1.ru, pkg.dl.wel1.ru, net.dl.wel1.ru) enumerated as c.<domain>, 0.<domain>, 1.<domain>,... and base64-decodes the concatenated TXT payloads into an executable that is then written and run. Endpoint literals are fragmented (e.g., ["oob-worker.cf101-","ad","f.workers.d","ev"].join("")) purely to evade static matching. The package advertises no purpose that justifies fetching and executing remote binaries.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for devplatform-api-endpoint (version 35.2.9).
If you installed it — respond
Remove devplatform-api-endpoint 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.
Did it already run?
If devplatform-api-endpoint 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks devplatform-api-endpoint-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the malicious outbound activity and severs the channel.
