devplatform-spa-tokensnpm
Advisory published Updated
devplatform-spa-tokens is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12785) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 35.3.1). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in devplatform-spa-tokens (npm)
What this malware does
On require(), index.js loads support.js, which assembles Cloudflare Workers hostnames (oob-worker.cf*.workers.dev) and fallback domain sdk.dl.wel1.ru at runtime from split string arrays joined via.join(""), downloads a platform-specific binary from those hosts (with a DNS TXT chunked fallback via c.<domain>/i.<domain> records when HTTPS is blocked), writes the payload to a temp path with a disguised name (e.g. dotnet_diag<rand>.exe,.cache_<rand>), chmods 0755 on POSIX, and spawns it detached via spawn("/bin/sh") or spawn("cmd"). Execution is gated by DISABLE_TELEMETRY / ANALYTICS_OPT_OUT / DO_NOT_TRACK env vars and a /tmp/.analytics_state cache, framing the dropper as analytics. The advertised TokenManager API is a decoy — no relation to the download-and-execute behavior. Destination hosts are anonymous workers.dev / lookalike infrastructure, not the package's stated purpose or publisher.
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
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for devplatform-spa-tokens (version 35.3.1).
If you installed it — respond
devplatform-spa-tokens is built to steal secrets, so assume every credential the build or runtime could read is compromised. Remove it from your project and lockfile, then rotate ALL exposed secrets — npm/registry tokens, cloud keys, CI/CD secrets, SSH keys, and any .env values — from a known-clean machine. Audit logs for unauthorized use of those credentials.
Did it already run?
If devplatform-spa-tokens 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks devplatform-spa-tokens-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
