Which versions of bvdfhdfvnk3 are malicious?

The following npm versions of bvdfhdfvnk3 are flagged malicious: 1.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate bvdfhdfvnk3 if I installed it?

Remove bvdfhdfvnk3 from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.

I already installed bvdfhdfvnk3 — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If bvdfhdfvnk3 was installed, its post-install payload may already have run. Removing the package does not undo that — check outbound connections and credential use from the install window onward.

Is bvdfhdfvnk3 part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — bvdfhdfvnk3 is associated with the GHSA-cp2x-vxp4-762f, IN-MAL-2026-017527 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find bvdfhdfvnk3 across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for bvdfhdfvnk3 (version 1.0.0).

npm uninstall bvdfhdfvnk3

What this malware does

The tarball contains a single index.html declared as the package main, with no JavaScript entrypoint and no preinstall/install/postinstall/prepare lifecycle scripts. The HTML loads Cloudflare Turnstile and, on Turnstile completion, an obfuscator.io-packed script constructs a URL to campaigns.microlive.club and calls window.location.replace to redirect the browser there. Node.js cannot execute an HTML file as main, so nothing runs on npm install or on require() of this package. The redirect only fires if a browser directly opens the HTML file. This is npm being used as static hosting for a cloaked redirect page rather than code that harms 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.
