The following npm versions of devplatform-nx-stylelint are flagged malicious: 35.6.9. Treat any of these as compromised.

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

devplatform-nx-stylelint is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove devplatform-nx-stylelint, install the correct package, and rotate any secrets exposed during the install since post-install scripts may have already run.

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

If devplatform-nx-stylelint 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.

Yes — devplatform-nx-stylelint is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-015043, GHSA-hqcv-mqm2-xcmh campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

What this malware does

The package presents itself as an Nx stylelint helper but its main entry require()s platform.js, which on load downloads a platform-specific executable from one of four Cloudflare Workers hosts whose names are assembled at runtime via array-join concatenation (oob-worker.cf{99-9b3,101-adf,102-baf,103-070}.workers.dev). If HTTPS retrieval fails, it reassembles the payload from base64 chunks served in DNS TXT records under sdk/ext/pkg/net.dl.wel1.ru (reading a chunk count from c.<domain> and concatenating parts from <i>.<domain>). The bytes are written to /var/tmp/.cache<hex> on Unix or %TEMP%\dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe on Windows, chmod 0755, and launched detached via cp.spawn("/bin/sh", ["-c", fp+" &"], {detached:true, stdio:"ignore"}).unref(). A marker file.analytics_state suppresses re-execution. lib/telemetry.js embeds a second copy of the same dropper (base64 chunk decoding, split "chmod"+"Sync" and cp.spawn("/bin/sh",...)) under an analytics-SDK cover story. The exported DevplatformNxStylelint class is a no-op stub; the package's only functional behavior is the dropper. Package naming impersonates the Nx stylelint ecosystem.

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.
