The page impersonates Cloudflare Turnstile (Cloudflare branding, a spoofed `dash.cloudflare.com` header, a fake 'Verify you are human' checkbox, and a fake 'Ray ID / 403 Forbidden' bot-detection screen). When the victim clicks the fake checkbox, the page silently writes a PowerShell one-liner to the clipboard and instructs the victim to press Win+R, paste, and hit Enter. The clipboard payload uses `Start-BitsTransfer` to download a script from `http://ec2-65-2-4-62.ap-south-1.compute.amazonaws.com:443/script` over plain HTTP into `$env:temp\\sys.ps1` and executes it via `iex (gc $t -Raw)`, giving the operator of that EC2 host arbitrary code execution on the victim's Windows machine. The package name (`clickfix_npm_delivery`) and description ('Delivery POC Package') identify npm itself as the distribution channel for the lure.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (a92eb0e7964a67df5bb46bd87559b74f949ee053811eb36679aad4d42342f8f3)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
