Which versions of devplatform-eslint-config are malicious?

The following npm versions of devplatform-eslint-config are flagged malicious: 35.8.9. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate devplatform-eslint-config if I installed it?

devplatform-eslint-config 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.

I already installed devplatform-eslint-config — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If devplatform-eslint-config 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.

Is devplatform-eslint-config part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — devplatform-eslint-config is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-016977 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find devplatform-eslint-config across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

What this malware does

[email protected] ships no ESLint configuration despite its name and description. Requiring the package loads compat.js, which on import selects a payload path based on OS/architecture (linux_x64, linux_arm64, darwin, win32), fetches an opaque native binary over HTTPS from a rotating set of Cloudflare Workers hosts whose names are assembled at runtime by joining split string fragments (oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev), with a DNS-TXT covert-channel fallback that reassembles base64 chunks from TXT records under sdk.dl.wel1.ru, ext.dl.wel1.ru, pkg.dl.wel1.ru, and net.dl.wel1.ru. The fetched bytes are written to a temporary path with a decoy filename (e.g. dotnet_diag.exe,.cache_), chmod 0755, and executed via a detached child process (cp.spawn('/bin/sh',['-c', fp+' &'], {detached:true}) on POSIX, cmd.exe start /b on Windows). lib/telemetry.js contains duplicate fetch-write-chmod-spawn primitives. Runtime string assembly of C2 hostnames hides destinations from static analysis, and the ESLint-config identity is a cover story unrelated to the shipped code.
