The devplatform-api-v1-endpoint npm package version 35.9.8 contains malicious code that fetches and executes a platform-specific payload from obfuscated external hosts without verification. The payload is written to temporary directories under misleading filenames and executed detached from the main process. The package uses DNS TXT queries and string manipulation to evade static analysis. This behavior is unrelated to the package's advertised functionality and includes a persistence mechanism to limit repeated execution within a 6.4-hour window.
