What this malware does

On npm install, preinstall.js runs automatically and sends the installer's hostname, username, platform, and current working directory via HTTP GET to http://209.126.81.147/etoro-nuget-verify1f8eaa57a875/npm/v2/<host>/<user>/<platform>/<cwd>, then executes whoami; id; hostname -f (or whoami /all on Windows) via child_process and POSTs the command output to the same hardcoded bare-IP endpoint over plain HTTP. The package.json advertises the package as an Internal service client library at version 99.0.0 with no real functional code beyond the preinstall hook, and the beacon path segment etoro-nuget-verify... targets an internal eToro namespace, matching the dependency-confusion recon pattern.

Detection & response playbook

Backdoor / remote access
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for etoro-charts (2 malicious versions).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    etoro-charts 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If etoro-charts 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-charts on npm has been identified as a malicious package (versions 99.0.0, 999.0.0 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.
