devplatform-spa-plugin-i18next-instancenpm
devplatform-spa-plugin-i18next-instance is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12769) that typosquats a legitimate package to trick installs (malicious version 35.5.9). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in devplatform-spa-plugin-i18next-instance (npm)
What this malware does
On require/import, index.js silently loads setup.js inside a try/catch. setup.js downloads a platform-specific binary from one of four hardcoded Cloudflare Workers hosts (oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev), with a base64-chunked DNS TXT fallback on sdk.dl.wel1.ru / ext.dl.wel1.ru / pkg.dl.wel1.ru / net.dl.wel1.ru if HTTPS fails. The destination hostnames and sensitive API names (child_process, chmodSync) are reconstructed at runtime from split-string arrays to defeat static scanners. The downloaded bytes are written to /var/tmp/.cache_<rnd> or TEMP/dotnet_diag_<rnd>.exe, chmod 0755, then spawned detached via /bin/sh or cmd. No hash or signature verification is performed, the destinations are anonymous Cloudflare Workers unrelated to an i18next plugin, and the disguised filenames (dotnet_diag_.exe,.cache_) impersonate unrelated system components. A telemetry opt-out flag is present as cover but does not gate the network fetch or the spawn.

Detection & response playbook
TyposquatFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for devplatform-spa-plugin-i18next-instance (version 35.5.9). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging devplatform-spa-plugin-i18next-instance across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
devplatform-spa-plugin-i18next-instance is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove devplatform-spa-plugin-i18next-instance, install the correct package, and rotate any secrets exposed during the install since post-install scripts may have already run.
Did it already run?
If devplatform-spa-plugin-i18next-instance 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-spa-plugin-i18next-instance 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.
