platform-ui-codemodsnpm
platform-ui-codemods is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12041) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 20.6.7). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in platform-ui-codemods (npm)
What this malware does
On require() of the package, index.js loads./compat.js whose top-level init() downloads a platform-specific binary from a set of Cloudflare Workers mirrors whose hostnames are assembled at runtime from split-string arrays joined with.join("") (e.g. oob-worker.cf1*.workers.dev), with a DNS-TXT covert-channel fallback that reconstructs a base64 payload from chunked TXT records under c.<domain>/<n>.<domain> at *.dl.well1.site (tin/tina/ldr/win subdomains). The fetched bytes are written to a hidden/decoy path ("/tmp/.cache<hex>" on Unix, "%TEMP%\dotnet_diag_<hex>.exe" on Windows), chmod 0755, and spawned detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd.exe with a cooldown stamp file (".analytics_state") to avoid re-execution. Hostname obfuscation, decoy filenames, DNS-TXT egress fallback, and detached execution collectively indicate a staged remote-code-execution dropper that fires automatically on install/require of this package.
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 platform-ui-codemods (version 20.6.7). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging platform-ui-codemods across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove platform-ui-codemods 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 platform-ui-codemods 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 platform-ui-codemods 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.
