devplatform-vite-plugin-glenpm
devplatform-vite-plugin-gle is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13273) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious version 35.3.9). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in devplatform-vite-plugin-gle (npm)
What this malware does
On require(), support.js assembles C2 hostnames via split/join fragments (resolving to oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, cf103-070.workers.dev, cf101-adf.workers.dev) and downloads a platform-specific binary via https.get, with a DNS TXT fallback under dl.wel1.ru that reads a chunk count from c.<domain> and base64 chunks from N.<domain>. The fetched payload is written to %TEMP%/dotnet_diag<hex>.exe on Windows or /var/tmp/.cache_<hex> on Unix, chmod 0755, and spawned detached via cp.spawn('/bin/sh', ['-c', fp + ' &'], {detached:true}).unref(). A /tmp/.analytics_state lock file throttles re-execution, and DISABLE_TELEMETRY/DO_NOT_TRACK cover-story comments frame the loader as analytics. No hash or signature check is performed on the downloaded binary. The package name mimics a legitimate Vite plugin.
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
Backdoor / remote accessFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for devplatform-vite-plugin-gle (version 35.3.9). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging devplatform-vite-plugin-gle across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
devplatform-vite-plugin-gle establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.
Did it already run?
If devplatform-vite-plugin-gle 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-vite-plugin-gle 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.
