Which versions of etoro-client are malicious?

The following npm versions of etoro-client are flagged malicious: 999.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

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

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.

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

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

Yes — etoro-client is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-019910 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find etoro-client across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for etoro-client (version 999.0.0).

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.
