Malicious package

etoro-clientnpm

etoro-client is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-16119) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 999.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

Malicious code in etoro-client (npm)

MAL-2026-16119
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
npm uninstall etoro-client

What this malware does

The preinstall lifecycle script in [email protected] unconditionally sends the installer's hostname, OS username, and current working directory to the hardcoded bare-IP endpoint http://209.126.81.147/etoro-depconf-poce346552f776f/npm/<host>/<user>/<cwd> over plain HTTP at npm install time. The package name combined with the implausibly high 999.0.0 version and the depconf path token indicate a dependency-confusion attack targeting an internal etoro-client package: publishing a high-version public namesake so that misconfigured resolvers pull this artifact instead of the private internal one. The preinstall beacon then confirms successful landing on a target and identifies the host, user, and build path.

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for etoro-client (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-client across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    etoro-client 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-client 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-client 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

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