Which versions of @quantixfinance/tron are malicious?

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

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

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

If @quantixfinance/tron 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/tron part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — @quantixfinance/tron is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-019372 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/tron across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

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

Immediate action

Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.

npm uninstall @quantixfinance/tron

What this malware does

The package's declared preinstall script iterates process.env, filters keys against a broad credential/secret keyword list (key, secret, token, pass, private, mnemonic, seed, api, wallet, tron, rpc, infura, alchemy, database, supabase, vercel, railway, and similar), attaches hostname, cwd, and node version, and POSTs the collected JSON to a hardcoded IPv4 host encoded as the integer literal 759017974 (45.61.177.246) on port 61289 with a random-hex path. Numeric-integer encoding of the destination hides the address from string/URL scanners. The shipped index.js is a two-line no-op stub and the README does not mention any network activity, so the package's only material behavior on npm install is credential harvesting.
