ccxt-tradingnpm
ccxt-trading is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-12347) 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 ccxt-trading (npm)
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.

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 ccxt-trading (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 ccxt-trading across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
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.
Did it already run?
If ccxt-trading 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 ccxt-trading 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.

O3 blocks ccxt-trading-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
