devplatform-api-v1-resourcesnpm
devplatform-api-v1-resources is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13543) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious version 35.4.7). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in devplatform-api-v1-resources (npm)
What this malware does
On require of the package's main entry, setup.js fetches a platform-specific binary from Cloudflare Workers hosts whose names are reassembled at runtime from fragment arrays (e.g. oob-worker.cf101-*.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev) with a DNS TXT fallback under *.dl.wel1.ru. The fetched bytes are written to /var/tmp or the Windows TEMP directory under disguised names (dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe,.cache_<hex>), chmod'd to 0755, and spawned detached via /bin/sh on POSIX or cmd on Windows. No hash or signature verification is performed. A second copy of the same download-write-chmod-spawn pattern, using base64 chunk assembly and string-concatenated API names (fs["chmod"+"Sync"]), is shipped in lib/telemetry.js under the guise of a telemetry SDK. C2 hostnames are split into small fragments and joined at runtime to defeat static analysis, and endpoints rotate across multiple workers.dev subdomains with a.ru DNS fallback.

Detection & response playbook
Backdoor / remote accessFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for devplatform-api-v1-resources (version 35.4.7). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging devplatform-api-v1-resources across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
devplatform-api-v1-resources establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.
Did it already run?
If devplatform-api-v1-resources was ever installed, its post-install/runtime payload may have already executed. O3's L7 egress monitoring and runtime eBPF sensors detect the credential exfiltration or command-and-control callback after install and block the malicious outbound channel, so you catch and contain the actual compromise — not just the presence of the package.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks devplatform-api-v1-resources before install through its supply-chain scanner, and if it has already run, detects and severs the exfiltration or C2 callback at runtime through L7 egress monitoring and eBPF.
