Description
The npm package 'xhjckswqivb' version 1.0.0 contains malicious code that serves an obfuscated HTML mimicking a Cloudflare Turnstile challenge. When the HTML is loaded in a browser, it redirects the user to a malicious URL. The package does not execute code during installation, targeting end-users who open the HTML rather than developers installing the package. This package compromises any computer running it, potentially exposing all stored secrets and keys.
