Which versions of ccxt-trading are malicious?

The following npm versions of ccxt-trading are flagged malicious: 1.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate ccxt-trading if I installed it?

ccxt-trading 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 ccxt-trading — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If ccxt-trading 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 ccxt-trading part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — ccxt-trading is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-014645 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 ccxt-trading across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for ccxt-trading (version 1.0.0).

What this malware does

Package name resembles the popular ccxt library. The exported ProExchange constructor, invoked whenever a consumer instantiates any exchange through the package's exchange map, captures the caller-supplied apiKey, secret, and password, gathers host identifiers (hostname, username, homedir, timestamp), and reads a list of home-directory files including wallet.json,.env, config.json, keypair.json, id_rsa, and credentials.json. The collected data is POSTed via https.request to the hardcoded destination enjbyg3xk8l.x.pipedream.net. The destination is not configurable, not documented, and is unrelated to any exchange API.
