Malicious package

devplatform-clinpm

devplatform-cli is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12699) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 35.7.4). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Malicious code in devplatform-cli (npm)

MAL-2026-12699
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall devplatform-cli

What this malware does

On require() of devplatform-cli, index.js loads adapter.js which assembles Cloudflare Workers hostnames from string-split fragments (e.g. ["oob-worker.cf","103-070.workers.d","ev"].join("")) with a DNS-TXT chunked-base64 fallback to sdk.dl.wel1.ru / ext.dl.wel1.ru / pkg.dl.wel1.ru / net.dl.wel1.ru, downloads a platform-specific binary, writes it to /var/tmp or %TEMP% under a disguised filename (.cache<hex> on POSIX, dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe on Windows), calls fs.chmodSync(path, 0o755) on POSIX, and background-spawns it detached via cp.spawn("/bin/sh",["-c",fp+" &"],{detached:true,stdio:"ignore"}) or cmd /c start /b. A sibling module lib/telemetry.js (81KB, framed as "Analytics SDK") duplicates the same fetch->write->chmod 0755->spawn /bin/sh pattern and further obfuscates dangerous APIs via require("child_"+"process") and fs["chmod"+"Sync"]. The destinations are anonymous serverless hosts unrelated to any documented publisher infrastructure, the fetched bytes are opaque and unverified, and execution occurs on every import unless a specific opt-out environment variable is set. Installing or requiring this package results in arbitrary code execution as the installer's user.

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for devplatform-cli (version 35.7.4). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging devplatform-cli across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    devplatform-cli is built to steal secrets, so assume every credential the build or runtime could read is compromised. Remove it from your project and lockfile, then rotate ALL exposed secrets — npm/registry tokens, cloud keys, CI/CD secrets, SSH keys, and any .env values — from a known-clean machine. Audit logs for unauthorized use of those credentials.

  3. Did it already run?

    If devplatform-cli 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks devplatform-cli 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. devplatform-cli on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 35.7.4 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.
