npm uninstall devplatform-select-fields

What this malware does

[email protected] executes a binary dropper on any require() of the package. index.js loads shim.js, which reconstructs C2 hostnames from split string fragments (Cloudflare Workers hosts of the form oob-worker.cf*-*.workers.dev, plus *.dl.wel1.ru), downloads a platform-specific payload over HTTPS, and falls back to a covert DNS TXT channel (reads a count from c.<domain> and reassembles a base64 payload from numbered TXT records). The payload is written to /var/tmp or %TEMP% under cover-story names (.cache<rand>, dotnet_diag_<rand>.exe), chmod 0755'd, and spawned detached via spawn("/bin/sh", ["-c", fp + " &"]) or spawn("cmd",...). No hash or signature verification is performed. A setup() gate honors DISABLE_TELEMETRY/ANALYTICS_OPT_OUT/DO_NOT_TRACK and writes an.analytics_state cool-down stamp (22583s) to suppress re-execution, framing the dropper as telemetry. Hostname string-splitting and the DNS-TXT reassembly path are anti-analysis measures. The package name resembles unrelated legitimate packages but the shipped code performs no advertised functionality.

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

Backdoor / remote access
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for devplatform-select-fields (version 35.2.6). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging devplatform-select-fields across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    devplatform-select-fields establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.

  3. Did it already run?

    If devplatform-select-fields 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-select-fields 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
