Description

The package's only shipped file is an HTML page that mimics a Cloudflare 'Just a moment...' verification screen and embeds obfuscator.io-style JavaScript (_0xNNNN identifiers, string-array lookups) that runtime-constructs a URL beginning with 'https://ap' from decoded string-array entries. The package.json declares no preinstall/install/postinstall lifecycle scripts, and main points at an HTML file that Node cannot require, so installing or requiring the package does not execute the embedded script on the installer's machine. The content is a phishing page targeting browser users who might be steered to render it, i.e. registry abuse using npm as a content host rather than an attack on package installers.

Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
