devplatform-s3-resourcesnpm
devplatform-s3-resources is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12748) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 35.5.1). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in devplatform-s3-resources (npm)
What this malware does
On load, index.js unconditionally requires./compat.js, which selects a platform-specific binary URL from string-split-obfuscated Cloudflare Workers hosts (oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, cf103-070.workers.dev, cf102-baf.workers.dev), downloads the binary over HTTPS with a DNS-TXT covert-channel fallback that reassembles base64 chunks from TXT records under sdk.dl.wel1.ru, ext.dl.wel1.ru, pkg.dl.wel1.ru, and net.dl.wel1.ru, writes it to /var/tmp or %TEMP% under masquerading names (.cache<hex> on Unix, dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe on Windows), chmods it 0755, and spawns it detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd.exe /c start /b with stdio ignored and windowsHide set. A stamp file at /tmp/.analytics_state (or %TEMP%\analytics_state) with a ~5.9h MAX_AGE dedupes re-executions across sessions. Endpoint hostnames are constructed by joining split string literals to evade static scanners, and CI opt-out checks are present to reduce detection in build environments. The package name resembles legitimate S3 tooling but the shipped code is a second-stage loader, not an S3 resource library.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for devplatform-s3-resources (version 35.5.1). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging devplatform-s3-resources across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove devplatform-s3-resources 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-s3-resources 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.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks devplatform-s3-resources 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.
