Malicious package

cvbniydplwe3npm

Advisory published Updated

cvbniydplwe3 is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13797) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Malicious code in cvbniydplwe3 (npm)

MAL-2026-13797
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall cvbniydplwe3

What this malware does

The tarball contains only index.html (declared as package.json main) and no JavaScript, no lifecycle scripts, and no Node-executable entry point. index.html renders a fake 'Just a moment...' Cloudflare Turnstile interstitial; on the Turnstile callback, an obfuscated string-array deobfuscator reconstructs a target URL and assigns it to window.location. HTML cannot be require()'d and there are no preinstall/install/postinstall hooks, so npm install and require('cvbniydplwe3') do not execute this code on the installer's machine. The behavior is a browser-side redirect that would only fire if the HTML were served from a CDN and loaded in a browser. This appears to be npm-registry abuse — parking phishing/redirect content in a package slot — rather than a supply-chain attack against 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.

Detection & response playbook

Malicious package
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for cvbniydplwe3 (version 1.0.0).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove cvbniydplwe3 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If cvbniydplwe3 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. cvbniydplwe3 on npm has been identified as a malicious package (version 1.0.0 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks cvbniydplwe3-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the malicious outbound activity and severs the channel.
