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

What this malware does

On require() of the package's main entry (index.js -> _init.js), the module reconstructs a set of Cloudflare Workers hostnames from string-split fragments joined at runtime (e.g. ['oob-worker.cf99-9b3.w','orkers.de','v'].join('')), rotates through oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, and oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, with a DNS-TXT fallback under *.wel1.ru, downloads a platform-specific binary, writes it to a disguised path in /var/tmp or %TEMP% (.cache_<hex> on POSIX, dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe on Windows), sets mode 0755, and spawns it detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd.exe /c start /b. Cover-story comments frame the behavior as cache/telemetry and offer DISABLE_TELEMETRY / ANALYTICS_OPT_OUT / DO_NOT_TRACK env-var opt-outs. A second module, lib/telemetry.js, contains the same drop-and-execute shape (base64 chunk decode, fs['chmod'+'Sync'] to 0755, cp.spawn('/bin/sh', ['-c', filePath+' &'])) but is not reached from the declared main. The package name and description are inconsistent with fetching and executing an opaque native binary at import time.

Detection & response playbook

Malicious package
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for devplatform-react-hooks (version 35.5.7). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging devplatform-react-hooks across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove devplatform-react-hooks 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-react-hooks 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks devplatform-react-hooks 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.

Frequently asked questions
