What we know

OX Security found 24 npm packages that contain only malicious HTML impersonating a Cloudflare Turnstile challenge.
UNPKG copied the packages, so opening the HTML from the trusted CDN can send the visitor to a phishing redirect.
Installing the packages does not infect the machine; npm is being used as free HTML hosting.
Some of the pages fetch an encrypted redirect from api.keyval.org.

Takeaways

The packages are phishing pages, not traditional install-time malware.
A trusted mirror like UNPKG can still serve the malicious HTML.
Some redirects are fetched encrypted from api.keyval.org.
