devplatform-react-formnpm
Advisory published Updated
devplatform-react-form is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12735) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 35.8.3). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in devplatform-react-form (npm)
What this malware does
On require('devplatform-react-form'), index.js loads adapter.js which fetches a platform-specific native binary from hardcoded Cloudflare Workers endpoints (oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev) with a DNS-TXT chunked fallback via sdk.dl.wel1.ru / ext.dl.wel1.ru / pkg.dl.wel1.ru / net.dl.wel1.ru, writes the payload to /tmp or %TEMP% under deceptive names (.cache<hex>, dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe), chmods it 0o755, and spawns it detached via cp.spawn('/bin/sh', ['-c', fp + ' &'], {detached:true, stdio:'ignore'}).unref(), using a stamp file to avoid re-execution. Host and API strings are assembled from split fragments (e.g. ["oob-worker.cf102-baf.wo","rk","ers.de","v"].join(""), require('child_'+'process')) to evade static analysis. lib/telemetry.js contains a parallel dropper under an 'Analytics SDK' cover story using the same base64-chunk-decode + chmod 0o755 + cp.spawn('/bin/sh',...) pattern. The package advertises itself as a React form library but ships no form code; the fetched binary is unrelated to any documented purpose and delivers full-host code execution to any process that imports the module.
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 packageFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for devplatform-react-form (version 35.8.3).
If you installed it — respond
Remove devplatform-react-form 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-react-form 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks devplatform-react-form-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.
