devplatform-nx-tsnpm
devplatform-nx-ts is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12730) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 35.1.3). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in devplatform-nx-ts (npm)
What this malware does
On require of the package, index.js loads compat.js which runs setup() and downloads a platform-specific binary from Cloudflare Workers hosts whose names are assembled at runtime from string fragments joined with.join("") (e.g. oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, cf103-070, cf100-416, cf99-9b3), with a DNS-TXT base64 fallback channel via *.dl.wel1.ru. The fetched binary is written to /var/tmp or %TEMP% under a disguised filename (dotnet_diag<hex>.exe on Windows,.cache_<hex> on Unix), chmodded 0755, and spawned detached via cp.spawn("/bin/sh",["-c",fp+" &"],{detached:true}) or spawn("cmd",...). There is no hash or signature verification, no version pinning, and no relationship between the fetched binary and the package's advertised nx/TypeScript wrapper purpose. A flag file named.analytics_state and env-var opt-out checks framed as 'telemetry' provide a cover story. A second module lib/telemetry.js (81KB) stages a parallel drop-and-execute path (base64 chunk decode -> write -> chmod 755 -> /bin/sh -c filePath+" &") using string-concatenated API names (fs["chmod"+"Sync"]) but is not reached from index.js in this tarball.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for devplatform-nx-ts (version 35.1.3). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging devplatform-nx-ts across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove devplatform-nx-ts 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.
Did it already run?
If devplatform-nx-ts 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-ts 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.
