Malicious code in devplatform-ui-kit (npm)

MAL-2026-13269
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall devplatform-ui-kit

What this malware does

Package advertised as a UI toolkit but on module load (index.js require()s adapter.js) fetches an opaque platform-specific binary from obfuscated *.workers.dev hosts, with a DNS-TXT covert-channel fallback that reassembles base64 chunks from subdomains under dl.wel1.ru (sdk./ext./pkg./net.dl.wel1.ru). Host strings are constructed at runtime by joining short fragments (e.g. ["oob-work","er.cf102-baf.workers.de","v"].join("")) to evade static analysis. The fetched bytes are written to /tmp or %TEMP% under disguise names such as dotnet_diag.exe /.cache_, chmodded 0755 on POSIX, and spawned detached via cp.spawn("/bin/sh",["-c",fp+" &"],{detached:true}).unref() (cmd on Windows). No hash or signature verification. Behavior fires on any require()/import of the package, executing attacker-controlled code on the installer's machine.

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 package
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for devplatform-ui-kit (version 35.6.2).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove devplatform-ui-kit 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If devplatform-ui-kit 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. devplatform-ui-kit on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 35.6.2 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks devplatform-ui-kit-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the malicious outbound activity and severs the channel.
