etoro-cashoutnpm

Malicious code in etoro-cashout (npm)

MAL-2026-16117
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 lifecycle script (preinstall.js) runs automatically on npm install and issues an HTTP GET to a hardcoded bare-IP endpoint at http://209.126.81.147/etoro-depconf-poce346552f776f/npm/<host>/<user>/<cwd>, embedding os.hostname(), os.userInfo().username, and process.cwd() as URL path segments. The destination is not a first-party or registry host, uses plain HTTP, and the transmission is unconditional and undisclosed. The package name and implausibly high version number (999.0.0) combined with an 'eToro Infrastructure' author string are consistent with a dependency-confusion probe designed to identify internal build environments that resolve the public name in place of a private one.

Detection & response playbook

Malicious package
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for etoro-cashout (version 999.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging etoro-cashout across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove etoro-cashout from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.

  3. Did it already run?

    If etoro-cashout 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks etoro-cashout 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.

Frequently asked questions
