devplatform-nx-stylelintnpm
devplatform-nx-stylelint is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12728) that typosquats a legitimate package to trick installs (malicious version 35.6.9). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in devplatform-nx-stylelint (npm)
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.

Detection & response playbook
TyposquatFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for devplatform-nx-stylelint (version 35.6.9). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging devplatform-nx-stylelint across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
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.
Did it already run?
If devplatform-nx-stylelint 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.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks devplatform-nx-stylelint 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.
