Malicious code in devplatform-react-micro-frontend (npm)
What this malware does
[email protected] is a lure package whose main entry auto-loads adapter.js on require. adapter.js selects a platform-specific asset, downloads an opaque binary over HTTPS from a rotating list of Cloudflare *.workers.dev hosts (oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev and siblings cf100/cf102/cf103), and if HTTPS fails reassembles up to 2000 numbered TXT records under *.dl.wel1.ru into a base64 payload. The bytes are written to a temp path under a masquerading name (.cache<hex>, dotnet_diag<hex>.exe), chmod 755 on POSIX, and spawned detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd. Network destinations are assembled by joining substring arrays (e.g. ["oob-worker.cf101-a","df.workers.","dev"].join(""), ['sdk.dl.w','el1.','ru'].join("")) to evade static analysis. A duplicate dropper is shipped as lib/telemetry.js framed as an "Analytics SDK", using string-concat obfuscation of require("child_"+"process") and fs["chmod"+"Sync"] to reach the same write-chmod-spawn sink. Installing or requiring the package results in remote-controlled binary execution on the host.
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-micro-frontend (version 35.2.1).
If you installed it — respond
Remove devplatform-react-micro-frontend 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-micro-frontend 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-micro-frontend-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.
