The package ships a single HTML file that impersonates Cloudflare's 'Just a moment...' interstitial. On Turnstile widget callback, embedded JavaScript reconstructs the URL 'https://checkout.microlive.club/' from concatenated string fragments and calls window.location.replace to redirect the visitor to that host, forwarding any inbound query-string parameters via URLSearchParams. package.json declares no lifecycle scripts and 'main' points at the HTML file, so nothing executes on npm install or require. The artifact is a phishing/redirect landing page abusing the npm registry as static hosting; the target audience is browser visitors served this file elsewhere, not developers who install the package.

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.
