Which versions of fghvbmniwu are malicious?

The following npm versions of fghvbmniwu are flagged malicious: 1.0.0, 1.0.1. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate fghvbmniwu if I installed it?

Remove fghvbmniwu 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 fghvbmniwu — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If fghvbmniwu 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 fghvbmniwu part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — fghvbmniwu is associated with the GHSA-52gv-9g4f-9j62, IN-MAL-2026-017415, IN-MAL-2026-017487 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

fghvbmniwu is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13808) that executes malicious code on install (malicious versions 1.0.0, 1.0.1). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Immediate action

Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.

npm uninstall fghvbmniwu

What this malware does

Package contains a single index.html declared as main, which is a Cloudflare-branded 'Just a moment...' clone embedding a Turnstile widget and heavily obfuscated JavaScript (obfuscator.io-style _0x... identifiers, shuffled string array, control-flow flattening) that assembles a redirect URL at runtime and assigns it to window.location, forwarding the current query string. There are no preinstall/install/postinstall/prepare lifecycle scripts, and main points to HTML that Node cannot require or import, so installing or requiring this package does not execute code on a developer machine or build system. The behavior only affects a browser that loads this file via a CDN mirror (unpkg/jsdelivr), consistent with abuse of the npm registry as free CDN hosting for a phishing/redirect landing page rather than an attack on the installer.

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.
