Description
The npm package 'bvdfhdfvnk3' version 1.0.0 contains a malicious payload in the form of a static HTML file that redirects browsers to a potentially harmful external site after completing a Cloudflare Turnstile challenge. The package does not execute code during installation or require time, as Node.js cannot run an HTML file as the main entrypoint. However, if the HTML file is opened directly in a browser, it triggers a redirect to a cloaked campaign URL. Security sources warn that any system with this package installed should be considered fully compromised, recommending immediate secret and key rotation and package removal, though full remediation cannot be guaranteed due to potential deeper compromise.
