This seems to be caused by an outage or issue elsewhere on the internet / npm registry - whatever it was seems to have been resolved now.

For those impacted please run the following commands to repair your installation:

macOS:

npm cache clean --force
sudo npm uninstall -g homebridge-config-ui-x
sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm homebridge-config-ui-x@latest
sudo hb-service rebuild

Linux:

sudo npm cache clean --force
sudo npm uninstall -g homebridge-config-ui-x
sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm homebridge-config-ui-x@latest

Windows:

npm cache clean --force
npm uninstall -g homebridge-config-ui-x
npm install -g --unsafe-perm homebridge-config-ui-x@latest
