Which versions of etoro-cashout are malicious?

The following npm versions of etoro-cashout are flagged malicious: 99.0.0, 99.0.2, 999.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate etoro-cashout if I installed it?

etoro-cashout 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 etoro-cashout — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If etoro-cashout 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 etoro-cashout part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — etoro-cashout is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-019915, IN-MAL-2026-019996, IN-MAL-2026-019997 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

Advisory published Sep 10, 2026Updated Sep 11, 2026

etoro-cashout is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-16117) 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.

Immediate action

Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.

npm uninstall etoro-cashout

What this malware does

The package's preinstall.js lifecycle script runs on npm install and executes host reconnaissance commands (whoami, ipconfig/ip addr, directory listings of C:\ and /, tasklist/ps, and a full environment-variable dump via set/env) and POSTs the collected output over plain HTTP to a hardcoded remote server at 209.126.81.147, using path segments under a canary token 'etoro-nuget-verify1f8eaa57a875'. The package name 'etoro-cashout' at version 99.0.2, the eToro-branded canary, and the beacon path shape are consistent with a dependency-confusion probe targeting an internal eToro registry: any build environment that resolves this public name executes the exfiltration on install. Data leaving the installer includes hostname, username, working directory, filesystem listings, running processes, and the full process environment, which on CI systems routinely contains cloud credentials, registry tokens, and API keys.
