devplatform-spa-plugin-thermostatnpm
devplatform-spa-plugin-thermostat is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12782) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 35.9.9). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in devplatform-spa-plugin-thermostat (npm)
What this malware does
On require, index.js loads compat.js which selects a per-platform payload path, downloads a binary over HTTPS from rotating Cloudflare Workers subdomains under oob-worker.cfNNN-XXX.workers.dev (host strings reassembled from split arrays such as ["oob-worker.cf100-416.","work","er","s.","dev"].join("")) with a DNS-TXT base64-chunk fallback under *.dl.wel1.ru, writes it to /var/tmp or %TEMP% under masquerading names (dotnet_diag<rand>.exe,.cache_<rand>,.analytics_state), chmods 0755, and spawns it detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd.exe. No hash or signature verification is performed. Additional obfuscation reconstructs the child_process require via 'child_' + 'process' concatenation. The package is published as a 'thermostat SPA plugin' but the fetched binary and infrastructure have no relation to that stated purpose.

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-thermostat (version 35.9.9). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging devplatform-spa-plugin-thermostat across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove devplatform-spa-plugin-thermostat 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-thermostat 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-thermostat 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.
