Which versions of passport811 are malicious?

The following npm versions of passport811 are flagged malicious: 1.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate passport811 if I installed it?

passport811 is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove passport811, install the correct package, and rotate any secrets exposed during the install since post-install scripts may have already run.

I already installed passport811 — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If passport811 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 passport811 part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — passport811 is associated with the GHSA-hqm8-hrc2-wr63, IN-MAL-2026-017438 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 passport811 across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for passport811 (version 1.0.0).

What this malware does

[email protected] contains a single HTML file that impersonates a Cloudflare Turnstile 'Just a moment...' challenge. After the Turnstile callback fires, obfuscated JavaScript assembles a redirect URL to the Microsoft typosquat host microsofte.live (host string built at runtime from an obfuscator.io string-array lookup concatenated with the fragments 'ypt.micros' and 'ofte.live/') and calls window.location.replace() to send the browser there, forwarding the current query string. The package has no library or CLI surface and no lifecycle scripts — the HTML is not executed by npm install or by require(). The artifact is a hosted phishing kit distributed via the npm registry rather than code that attacks the machine performing the install.

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.
