Summary
Malicious code in bvdfhdfvnk3 (npm)
Details
The tarball contains a single index.html declared as the package `main`, with no JavaScript entrypoint and no preinstall/install/postinstall/prepare lifecycle scripts. The HTML loads Cloudflare Turnstile and, on Turnstile completion, an obfuscator.io-packed script constructs a URL to campaigns.microlive.club and calls window.location.replace to redirect the browser there. Node.js cannot execute an HTML file as `main`, so nothing runs on `npm install` or on `require()` of this package. The redirect only fires if a browser directly opens the HTML file. This is npm being used as static hosting for a cloaked redirect page rather than code that harms installers.

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.
