Malicious code in cvbniydplwe3 (npm)

0
Critical
Published: 08/12/2026 (08/12/2026, 10:29:53 UTC)
Source: GCVE Database
Product: cvbniydplwe3

Description

The npm package 'cvbniydplwe3' version 1.0.0 contains a tarball with only an index.html file that renders a fake Cloudflare Turnstile interstitial and performs a browser-side redirect to a target URL. This package does not execute code during installation or require(), indicating it is not a traditional supply-chain attack but rather an abuse of the npm registry to host phishing or redirect content. Despite no direct code execution on the installer's machine, the presence of this package on a system is considered highly dangerous, as it may indicate compromise. Removal of the package alone may not fully remediate the risk, and secrets should be rotated immediately if the package was installed or run.

Technical Analysis

The npm package 'cvbniydplwe3' version 1.0.0 contains only an index.html file declared as the main entry point, which cannot be executed by Node.js. The HTML renders a fake 'Just a moment...' Cloudflare Turnstile interstitial and uses an obfuscated deobfuscator to redirect the browser to a malicious URL. There are no lifecycle scripts or executable code that run during npm install or require(), so the malicious behavior only occurs if the HTML is served from a CDN and loaded in a browser. This indicates the package is used for npm registry abuse to host phishing or redirect content rather than a direct supply-chain compromise. However, according to a malware source, any system with this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised, and all secrets and keys should be rotated immediately from a different machine. The package should be removed, but removal alone may not eliminate all malicious software resulting from its installation.

Potential Impact

The package does not execute code during installation or require(), so it does not directly compromise the installer's machine via npm install. However, if the HTML is served and loaded in a browser, it performs a redirect to a malicious URL, potentially facilitating phishing or other browser-based attacks. According to malware analysis, any computer with this package installed or running is considered fully compromised, implying that the package may be part of a broader compromise or that its presence indicates a serious security incident. Secrets and keys stored on affected machines should be rotated immediately. Removal of the package alone may not remove all malicious software.

Defensive Guidance

There is no official patch or fix since this is a malicious package abuse rather than a software vulnerability. The package 'cvbniydplwe3' version 1.0.0 should be removed immediately from any system where it is installed or running. All secrets and keys stored on affected machines should be rotated immediately from a different, trusted machine. Because the package does not execute code during installation, the main risk is from its presence indicating compromise or from browser-based redirects if the HTML is served. Monitor for any signs of broader compromise and perform a thorough incident response.
