npm uninstall devplatform-react-query-s3-client

What this malware does

On require()/import of devplatform-react-query-s3-client, index.js loads vendor.js which selects a platform-specific payload path (linux_x64, linux_arm64, darwin, win32), fetches a binary from one of four Cloudflare Workers hosts whose names are assembled at runtime via array-join obfuscation (oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev), with a DNS-TXT base64 fallback channel to sdk.dl.wel1.ru / ext.dl.wel1.ru / pkg.dl.wel1.ru / net.dl.wel1.ru. The downloaded bytes are written to /tmp or %TEMP% under a deceptive name (.cache<hex> or dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe impersonating.NET diagnostics), chmod 0755, and spawn-detached via /bin/sh -c '<path> &' or cmd.exe /c start. A second copy of the dropper (base64-chunk assembly, cp.spawn('/bin/sh', ['-c', filePath+' &']), fs.chmodSync(..., 0o755)) is duplicated in lib/telemetry.js under a ServiceDiscovery/WorkerHost class as an alternate loader. Opt-out env vars (DISABLE_TELEMETRY, ANALYTICS_OPT_OUT, DO_NOT_TRACK) and a /tmp/.analytics_state decoy provide a telemetry cover story; the destinations are hidden through string-split concatenation to defeat static grep. The payload is unpinned, unsigned, opaque, and delivered from hosts unrelated to any legitimate S3 or React Query SDK.

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for devplatform-react-query-s3-client (version 35.8.7).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    devplatform-react-query-s3-client is built to steal secrets, so assume every credential the build or runtime could read is compromised. Remove it from your project and lockfile, then rotate ALL exposed secrets — npm/registry tokens, cloud keys, CI/CD secrets, SSH keys, and any .env values — from a known-clean machine. Audit logs for unauthorized use of those credentials.

  3. Did it already run?

    If devplatform-react-query-s3-client 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. devplatform-react-query-s3-client on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 35.8.7 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks devplatform-react-query-s3-client-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
