devplatform-spa-plugin-s3-module-loadernpm
devplatform-spa-plugin-s3-module-loader is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12779) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 35.8.2). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

What this malware does
On require of the package's main entry, index.js loads adapter.js, which selects a platform-specific payload URL, fetches opaque bytes from one of three obfuscated Cloudflare Workers hosts (oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev) assembled from split string arrays, writes them to a hidden temp path (dot-file on Unix, dotnet_diag*.exe on Windows), chmods 0755 on Unix, and spawns the file detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd.exe /c start. A DNS-over-TXT fallback resolves c.<domain>/i.<domain> under sdk.dl.wel1.ru, ext.dl.wel1.ru, pkg.dl.wel1.ru, and net.dl.wel1.ru and base64-reassembles a payload from numbered TXT records when HTTPS delivery is blocked. Destinations, delivery channels, and payloads are fully author-controlled, obfuscated via runtime string reassembly, and unrelated to the package's advertised S3-module-loader purpose. Cover-story identifiers include analytics_state and DISABLE_TELEMETRY.
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 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-s3-module-loader (version 35.8.2). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging devplatform-spa-plugin-s3-module-loader across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove devplatform-spa-plugin-s3-module-loader 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-s3-module-loader 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-s3-module-loader 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.
