Which versions of @quantixfinance/token are malicious?

The following npm versions of @quantixfinance/token are flagged malicious: 1.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate @quantixfinance/token if I installed it?

@quantixfinance/token is built to steal secrets, so assume every credential the build or runtime could read is compromised. Remove it from your project and lockfile, then rotate ALL exposed secrets — npm/registry tokens, cloud keys, CI/CD secrets, SSH keys, and any .env values — from a known-clean machine. Audit logs for unauthorized use of those credentials.

I already installed @quantixfinance/token — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If @quantixfinance/token was installed, its post-install payload may already have run. Removing the package does not undo that — check outbound connections and credential use from the install window onward.

Is @quantixfinance/token part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — @quantixfinance/token is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-019366 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find @quantixfinance/token across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @quantixfinance/token (version 1.0.0).

npm uninstall @quantixfinance/token

What this malware does

The package's preinstall lifecycle script enumerates process.env and collects any variable whose name matches credential-shaped keywords (key, secret, token, pass, mnemonic, seed, private, wallet, rpc, infura, alchemy, database, api, and similar), augments the payload with hostname, cwd, and Node version, and POSTs the JSON body to a hardcoded remote endpoint. The destination is obfuscated as the integer literal 759017974, which Node's http.request coerces to IPv4 45.60.227.246, on port 61289. The package's index.js exports no-op token functions with no real functionality, so the preinstall exfiltration is the entire payload behind a stub cover story.
