devplatform-rest-resources-v2npm
Advisory published Updated

Malicious code in devplatform-rest-resources-v2 (npm)
What this malware does
On require of devplatform-rest-resources-v2, index.js loads adapter.js which selects a per-OS payload path, fetches an opaque binary over HTTPS from Cloudflare Workers hosts whose names are reconstructed at runtime by joining split string fragments (oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev), with a DNS TXT fallback resolving base64 payload locations from sdk.dl.wel1.ru, ext.dl.wel1.ru, pkg.dl.wel1.ru, and net.dl.wel1.ru. The fetched bytes are written to /var/tmp or %TEMP% under disguised names such as.cache<hex> on POSIX and dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe on Windows, chmod 755'd, and spawned detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd.exe. A sibling lib/telemetry.js contains a second base64->write->chmod->spawn dropper skeleton. The hosts, filenames, and execution path are unrelated to any declared REST-resources purpose.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for devplatform-rest-resources-v2 (version 35.9.7).
If you installed it — respond
Remove devplatform-rest-resources-v2 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-rest-resources-v2 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-rest-resources-v2-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.
