hxckdoeaqjlc8npm
Advisory published Updated
hxckdoeaqjlc8 is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13816) 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 hxckdoeaqjlc8 (npm)
What this malware does
The package ships a single HTML file that impersonates Cloudflare's 'Just a moment...' interstitial. On Turnstile widget callback, embedded JavaScript reconstructs the URL 'https://checkout.microlive.club/' from concatenated string fragments and calls window.location.replace to redirect the visitor to that host, forwarding any inbound query-string parameters via URLSearchParams. package.json declares no lifecycle scripts and 'main' points at the HTML file, so nothing executes on npm install or require. The artifact is a phishing/redirect landing page abusing the npm registry as static hosting; the target audience is browser visitors served this file elsewhere, not developers who install the package.
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.

TyposquatFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for hxckdoeaqjlc8 (version 1.0.0).
If you installed it — respond
hxckdoeaqjlc8 is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove hxckdoeaqjlc8, 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 hxckdoeaqjlc8 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.
