@quantixfinance/tronnpm
@quantixfinance/tron is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-15855) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @quantixfinance/tron (npm)
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.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for @quantixfinance/tron (version 1.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging @quantixfinance/tron across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
@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.
Did it already run?
If @quantixfinance/tron was ever installed, its post-install/runtime payload may have already executed. O3's L7 egress monitoring and runtime eBPF sensors detect the credential exfiltration or command-and-control callback after install and block the malicious outbound channel, so you catch and contain the actual compromise — not just the presence of the package.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks @quantixfinance/tron before install through its supply-chain scanner, and if it has already run, detects and severs the exfiltration or C2 callback at runtime through L7 egress monitoring and eBPF.
