What is MAL-2026-13829?

MAL-2026-13829 is a malicious package in nhdxzthponv5, published on 12 Aug 2026.

Official description

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.

What should I do about MAL-2026-13829?

Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
