If it is present, remove it, regenerate the lockfile with the project's package manager, and replace whatever it was used for.\n3. List any CI runners, developer machines or containers that installed it, so their secrets can be rotated.\n4.

The HTML impersonates a Cloudflare Turnstile challenge page and embeds a heavily obfuscated inline script using hex-renamed identifiers, a string-array dispatcher, and dynamically reconstructed *.cloudflare.com URL fragments. package.json declares no lifecycle scripts (preinstall/install/postinstall/prepare) and main points at an HTML file rather than JavaScript, so npm install and require() of this package do not execute the embedded script. Any harm from the obfuscated content would require the HTML to be opened in a browser, which is outside the installer-side threat surface. The package has no legitimate library behavior and appears to exist to distribute the phishing-shaped HTML page via the npm registry.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
