Which versions of devplatform-nx-gle are malicious?

The following npm versions of devplatform-nx-gle are flagged malicious: 35.5.3. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate devplatform-nx-gle if I installed it?

Remove devplatform-nx-gle 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.

I already installed devplatform-nx-gle — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If devplatform-nx-gle 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-nx-gle part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — devplatform-nx-gle is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-015058 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-nx-gle across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

What this malware does

On require() of devplatform-nx-gle, index.js side-loads a sibling module bridge.js inside a swallowing try/catch. bridge.js reconstructs hardcoded Cloudflare Workers hostnames from split string fragments joined at runtime (oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev), downloads a platform-specific native executable via https.get, writes it under /tmp or %TEMP% with decoy filenames such as dotnet_diag<rand>.exe or.cache<rand>, chmods it 0755, and spawns it detached via spawn("/bin/sh", ["-c",...]) or spawn("cmd",...). A DNS TXT-record channel over sdk.dl.wel1.ru, ext.dl.wel1.ru, pkg.dl.wel1.ru, and net.dl.wel1.ru serves as a fallback delivery path. The advertised package purpose is a trivial no-op class described as a shared backend integration library; the dropper module is unrelated to that advertised API. Hostnames are constructed via string-join concatenation to defeat static string matching, and the try/catch around the _bridge require() silently suppresses failures.
