@quantixfinance/walletnpm
Advisory published Updated
@quantixfinance/wallet is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-15857) 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/wallet (npm)
What this malware does
The package advertises itself as a wallet library but ships a 67-byte no-op index.js; the entire payload is a preinstall lifecycle script that fires automatically on npm install. The script iterates process.env and selects variables whose names contain any of a broad credential-related substring list (key, secret, token, pass, mnemonic, seed, private, wallet, api, rpc, infura, alchemy, supabase, database, deploy, vercel, railway, tron, contract, env, url), then bundles the matched values together with the machine hostname, current working directory, and Node.js version and POSTs the JSON to a hardcoded remote endpoint. The destination host is written as the 32-bit integer 759017974, which decodes to 45.61.177.246, and the request targets port 61289 with a per-victim GUID-shaped path. The integer-encoded host defeats plain-text URL scanning and there is no documented functionality that would justify the outbound POST.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for @quantixfinance/wallet (version 1.0.0).
If you installed it — respond
@quantixfinance/wallet 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/wallet 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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks @quantixfinance/wallet-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
