etoro-analyticsnpm
Advisory published Updated
etoro-analytics is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-16112) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious versions 99.0.0, 99.0.2, 999.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in etoro-analytics (npm)
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 stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for etoro-analytics (3 malicious versions).
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.
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.

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.
