Which versions of mnchfnvbue1 are malicious?

The following npm versions of mnchfnvbue1 are flagged malicious: 1.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate mnchfnvbue1 if I installed it?

mnchfnvbue1 is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove mnchfnvbue1, install the correct package, and rotate any secrets exposed during the install since post-install scripts may have already run.

I already installed mnchfnvbue1 — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If mnchfnvbue1 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 mnchfnvbue1 part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — mnchfnvbue1 is associated with the GHSA-mvqj-h65j-wcmq, IN-MAL-2026-017529 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find mnchfnvbue1 across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for mnchfnvbue1 (version 1.0.0).

What this malware does

The tarball contains a single file, index.html, declared as the package main. The HTML contains heavily obfuscated JavaScript that mimics a Cloudflare 'Just a moment...' interstitial and, after a 1-second timeout, decodes a string-array to build a URL and calls window.location.replace to navigate a browser to that URL. There are no npm lifecycle scripts (preinstall/install/postinstall/prepare), no bin entry, and main points at a non-JavaScript file, so npm install and require() do not execute this code on an installer's machine. The redirect only fires in a browser rendering the HTML. The package appears to be registry abuse (using npm to host an obfuscated browser redirect asset) 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.
