What this malware does

Published as part of a ClickFix-style fake-CAPTCHA phishing campaign documented by OX Security (see reference). The package's only file is index.html, declared as the npm "main" entry; package.json defines no preinstall/install/postinstall/prepare lifecycle script, so the payload does not execute at npm install time. index.html renders a fake Cloudflare Turnstile verification widget. An obfuscator.io-obfuscated inline script builds a hardcoded redirect URL to https://login.microsofte.live/ (a typosquat of a Microsoft sign-in domain), appends the visitor's original query-string parameters, and navigates the browser there via window.location.replace(). The package therefore does not attack the installing machine directly; it is used as a static file host on the npm CDN (e.g. unpkg/jsDelivr) so the index.html can be linked to and opened directly in a victim's browser as a phishing/ClickFix landing page. Published by npm user "johnvaldez9a" as part of a burst of near-identical single-purpose packages published between 2026-08-04 and 2026-08-24 that share this same fake-Turnstile-redirect page structure.

Detection & response playbook

Typosquat
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for m3fdfocdoewn (version 1.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging m3fdfocdoewn across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    m3fdfocdoewn is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove m3fdfocdoewn, install the correct package, and rotate any secrets exposed during the install since post-install scripts may have already run.

  3. Did it already run?

    If m3fdfocdoewn was ever installed, its post-install/runtime payload may have already executed. O3's L7 egress monitoring and runtime eBPF sensors detect the credential exfiltration or command-and-control callback after install and block the malicious outbound channel, so you catch and contain the actual compromise — not just the presence of the package.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks m3fdfocdoewn before install through its supply-chain scanner, and if it has already run, detects and severs the exfiltration or C2 callback at runtime through L7 egress monitoring and eBPF.
