Which versions of nhdxzthponv5 are malicious?

The following npm versions of nhdxzthponv5 are flagged malicious: 1.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate nhdxzthponv5 if I installed it?

nhdxzthponv5 is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove nhdxzthponv5, install the correct package, and rotate any secrets exposed during the install since post-install scripts may have already run.

I already installed nhdxzthponv5 — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If nhdxzthponv5 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 nhdxzthponv5 part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — nhdxzthponv5 is associated with the GHSA-cjq3-7m75-5vf9, IN-MAL-2026-017537 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 nhdxzthponv5 across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

What this malware does

Package [email protected] has a random name, no description/author/repo/dependencies/lifecycle scripts, and its 'main' points at index.html with 'files' shipping only that HTML. The HTML impersonates a Cloudflare Turnstile 'Just a moment...' challenge (real Turnstile sitekey 0x4AAAAAADrvn4rDM7WVvgPh, randomly-generated fake Ray ID). Heavily obfuscated JavaScript (obfuscator.io-style string-array rotator, RegExp-based debugger self-defense, console-method hooking) fires on Turnstile callback, constructs a URL on a '.cloud.homes' host, forwards the current page's query parameters via URLSearchParams, and navigates window.location to that URL. The package provides no library API; its sole purpose is to use the npm registry and its public CDN (unpkg/jsdelivr) as free hosting for a browser-targeted phishing/redirect page. Victims are end users who land on the CDN URL, not typical npm install consumers, but the artifact is malicious content published to npm and should be removed.

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.
