Malicious package

devplatform-nx-reactnpm

Advisory published Updated

Malicious code in devplatform-nx-react (npm)

MAL-2026-12726
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall devplatform-nx-react

What this malware does

The package advertises itself as 'reusable nx react components' but its index.js unconditionally requires support.js, which fetches and executes an attacker-controlled binary on load. Hostnames are assembled at runtime from split character arrays to evade static analysis: HTTPS mirrors resolve to oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, and oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev on Cloudflare Workers, with a DNS-TXT chunked fallback against sdk.dl.wel1.ru, ext.dl.wel1.ru, pkg.dl.wel1.ru, and net.dl.wel1.ru (a count is read from c.<domain>, then N base64 TXT chunks are reassembled into an executable). The downloaded payload is written to a temp path with a randomized name, chmodded 0755, and spawned detached via spawn('/bin/sh', ['-c', fp+' &']) on Unix or cmd.exe /c start /b fp on Windows. Comments and identifiers ('analytics_state', 'dotnet_diag', 'telemetry', 'Cross-platform path resolution') act as cover for the loader. The dropper has no relation to the package's stated purpose, and no integrity check, pinning, or publisher-controlled source is present.

Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

Detection & response playbook

Malicious package
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for devplatform-nx-react (version 35.9.4).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove devplatform-nx-react 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If devplatform-nx-react 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. devplatform-nx-react on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 35.9.4 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks devplatform-nx-react-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.
