What this malware does

[email protected] ships a preinstall lifecycle script (preinstall.js) that automatically runs on npm install. The script collects installer host identifiers (hostname, username, cwd, platform) and issues an initial HTTP GET to http://209.126.81.147/etoro-nuget-verify1f8eaa57a875/v4/<host>/<user>/<platform>/<cwd>. It then invokes child_process.execSync on platform-branched reconnaissance commands (whoami /all, ipconfig /all, tasklist on Windows; whoami, ifconfig, ps aux, env on POSIX) plus home/root directory listings and POSTs the output back to the same hardcoded bare-IP endpoint over plain HTTP. The package name, implausibly high version number (99.0.2), and canary-token URL path are consistent with a dependency-confusion beacon targeting an internal etoro package namespace.

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for etoro-analytics (3 malicious versions).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    etoro-analytics 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If etoro-analytics 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. etoro-analytics on npm has been identified as a malicious package (versions 99.0.0, 99.0.2, 999.0.0 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

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