Malicious code in devplatform-react-query-clients (npm)
The npm package devplatform-react-query-clients version 35.7.7 contains malicious code that downloads and executes unauthenticated platform-specific binaries from anonymous Cloudflare Workers subdomains. These binaries are saved to temporary directories with randomized names and executed with elevated permissions, enabling full remote code execution on any environment that installs or imports this package. The malicious behavior is obfuscated to evade detection and disguised as telemetry or analytics functionality. No patch or remediation guidance is currently provided.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The devplatform-react-query-clients npm package version 35.7.7 includes code that, upon requiring the package, loads a module which downloads a platform-specific binary from hardcoded Cloudflare Workers endpoints with a DNS-TXT fallback to suspicious domains. The binary is saved with randomized dot-prefixed filenames in temporary directories, permissioned to be executable, and spawned detached via shell commands. Hostnames and API calls are obfuscated to evade static analysis. The dropper masquerades as telemetry or analytics modules with environment variable opt-out gates. This results in full-host remote code execution on any system that installs or imports this package. There is no CVSS score or vendor advisory available, and no patch links are provided.
Potential Impact
Successful installation or import of devplatform-react-query-clients version 35.7.7 leads to arbitrary code execution on the host system due to the download and execution of unauthenticated binaries from attacker-controlled infrastructure. This compromises the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, avoid installing or importing devplatform-react-query-clients version 35.7.7. Consider removing the package from existing environments and monitor for updates from the package maintainers or security advisories.
