Description
The devplatform-api-clients npm package version 35.6.8 contains malicious code that, upon module load, fetches and executes a platform-specific binary from concealed third-party Cloudflare Workers endpoints and fallback DNS TXT-record hosts. This binary is stealthily saved and executed on the host system, bypassing typical client SDK expectations. The package masquerades as a service-client SDK but performs unauthorized remote code execution.
