Its `package.json` declares `\"main\": \"index.html\"`, and the shipped `index.html` is a fake Cloudflare 'Just a moment...' interstitial with a fake Turnstile widget and a dynamically generated fake Ray ID. The `onTurnstileComplete` handler is heavily obfuscated (obfuscator.io-style hex-named identifiers, rotating string array, self-defense wrappers) and decodes a hidden `targetUrl` from the encoded string table, forwards the current page's query parameters onto that URL via `URLSearchParams(...).forEach`, and calls `window.location.assign(targetUrl)`. A legitimate Cloudflare challenge does not decode its next-hop URL out of an obfuscated string array. The package appears designed to abuse npm plus its public CDN mirrors (unpkg / jsDelivr) as free hosting for a brand-impersonating phishing landing page; the victims are browser users who follow CDN links to the file, not developers who `npm install` it. The install/require surface itself is inert (no lifecycle scripts, no library code executed at install or import time), so there is no direct installer-side exfiltration, RCE, or credential theft.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (40578db5ae62ee3cb53853728a80b6f26d786c807fc2bb217aaecdb6655d829d)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
