Which versions of entropyeasybots are malicious?

The following npm versions of entropyeasybots are flagged malicious: 2.0.2. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate entropyeasybots if I installed it?

entropyeasybots establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.

I already installed entropyeasybots — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If entropyeasybots 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 entropyeasybots part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — entropyeasybots is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-011343 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 entropyeasybots across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for entropyeasybots (version 2.0.2).

What this malware does

index.js decodes a base64-obfuscated IP (85.137.253.124) and connects a spawned /bin/sh subprocess's stdio to a TCP socket at 85.137.253.124:1111, granting remote shell access on the installer's host. package.json declares postinstall: sudo node install.js, and install.js uses node-linux's Service API to register a systemd unit named CustomBot that runs index.js with maxRestarts:10, providing root-level persistence of the backdoor across reboots. The C2 IP is stored as a base64 string and reconstructed at runtime to hide the destination.
