dhjksficgwu2npm
Advisory published Updated
dhjksficgwu2 is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13802) that typosquats a legitimate package to trick installs (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in dhjksficgwu2 (npm)
What this malware does
Package contains a single index.html file declared as main. The HTML impersonates a Cloudflare Turnstile 'Just a moment...' verification page (sitekey 0x4AAAAAADrvn4rDM7WVvgPh) and includes an inline script that reconstructs a redirect target from an obfuscated string array (_0x522c) plus URL query parameters, then assigns window.location to that URL. There is no package.json lifecycle script, no JavaScript main, and no code that runs when the package is installed or required in Node; requiring an HTML file is a no-op. The artifact appears to be phishing/redirect content hosted on npm rather than code that attacks developers who install it.
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
TyposquatFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for dhjksficgwu2 (version 1.0.0).
If you installed it — respond
dhjksficgwu2 is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove dhjksficgwu2, install the correct package, and rotate any secrets exposed during the install since post-install scripts may have already run.
Did it already run?
If dhjksficgwu2 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks dhjksficgwu2-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.
