MAL-2026-13840

Summary: Malicious code in vfgnhlkxchrd (npm)

Details: Source: amazon-inspector (e8d278c0d7ee5dd3f8e12e924051d7e4d77afc4e12b408e6cb1e089071fde5ec) [email protected] contains a single HTML file (referenced as the package main) that mimics a Cloudflare 'Just a moment...' challenge. Embedded obfuscated JavaScript (hex-prefixed identifiers and a string-array dispatcher) reconstructs the URL https://config.microsofte.live/ from split string fragments and calls window.location.replace(targetUrl) on load. The domain config.microsofte.live is a typosquat of microsoft.live/microsoft.com. There are no lifecycle scripts and the main entry is an HTML file, so `npm install` and `require()` of this package do not execute the redirect against an installer; the payload only fires when the file is loaded in a browser via an npm CDN (unpkg/jsdelivr). The package is being used as free hosting for phishing infrastructure rather than as a Node module.

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.
