devplatform-spa-plugin-notifiernpm
devplatform-spa-plugin-notifier is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12773) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 35.5.7). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in devplatform-spa-plugin-notifier (npm)
What this malware does
On module load, index.js requires bootstrap.js which selects a platform-specific asset, downloads an opaque binary from hardcoded Cloudflare Workers subdomains (oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev) with a DNS TXT chunked-base64 fallback via sdk.dl.wel1.ru / ext.dl.wel1.ru / pkg.dl.wel1.ru / net.dl.wel1.ru, writes it to a disguised temp path (names such as dotnet_diag* and.cache_*), chmods it 0755 on Unix, and spawns it detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd /c start. Hostnames are assembled at runtime by joining fragmented substrings to defeat string search, and telemetry-opt-out variable names (analytics_state, DISABLE_TELEMETRY) are used as cover. No hash or signature verification is performed, and the destinations bear no relationship to a 'spa plugin notifier'.

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-spa-plugin-notifier (version 35.5.7). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging devplatform-spa-plugin-notifier across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove devplatform-spa-plugin-notifier 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-spa-plugin-notifier 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-notifier 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.
