Malicious package

devplatform-spa-clinpm

Advisory published Updated

devplatform-spa-cli is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12755) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 35.9.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Malicious code in devplatform-spa-cli (npm)

MAL-2026-12755
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall devplatform-spa-cli

What this malware does

index.js requires./polyfill on module load, which asynchronously fetches a platform-selected binary from runtime-assembled Cloudflare Workers subdomains (oob-worker.cf100-*.workers.dev / cf101/cf102/cf103 variants) with a DNS TXT chunked-base64 fallback via *.dl.wel1.ru. The payload is written under /var/tmp or %TEMP% with a cover-story name (.cache<hex> on POSIX, dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe on Windows), chmod 0o755, and detach-spawned via /bin/sh -c "<file> &" or cmd.exe /c start /b. Destination hostnames and the child_process require are assembled by array-join string concatenation to evade static inspection. A second implementation of the same drop-and-exec chain (endpoint rotation, DNS TXT failover, chmod 0755, /bin/sh spawn) is present in lib/telemetry.js. There is no hash or signature verification, the hosts are anonymous mutable Cloudflare Workers unrelated to any declared publisher, and execution occurs automatically when the module is required.

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 package
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for devplatform-spa-cli (version 35.9.2).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove devplatform-spa-cli 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If devplatform-spa-cli 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-spa-cli on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 35.9.2 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks devplatform-spa-cli-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.
