The script collects installer host identifiers (hostname, username, cwd, platform) and issues an initial HTTP GET to http://209.126.81.147/etoro-nuget-verify1f8eaa57a875/v4/<host>/<user>/<platform>/<cwd>. It then invokes child_process.execSync on platform-branched reconnaissance commands (`whoami /all`, `ipconfig /all`, `tasklist` on Windows; `whoami`, `ifconfig`, `ps aux`, `env` on POSIX) plus home/root directory listings and POSTs the output back to the same hardcoded bare-IP endpoint over plain HTTP. The package name, implausibly high version number (99.0.2), and canary-token URL path are consistent with a dependency-confusion beacon targeting an internal etoro package namespace.\n","affected":[{"package":{"name":"etoro-analytics","ecosystem":"npm"},"versions":["999.0.0","99.0.0","99.0.2"],"database_specific":{"cwes":[{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"},{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"},{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"}],"indicators":{"evidence_files":[{"path":"preinstall.js","sha256":"bee47062733940943fd3a66654f0258135fd62911674304ccac11a43226b5f58","tlsh":"ebe027f4118ca6683ccc01c4636b191ed4dfc705bcdec8c04a55d78587b15f1d6115f0"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"etoro-analytics-999.0.0.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"43928b907f72071f42a5dd41772529c29f42bcac","sha512_sri":"sha512-w/4jNQk6s6pNO+jcEmK4HnaS15x+OoYxX8WOZn7d3+8rJUa1HloPFNjXWLWwUJ++AiYqBVEHkKclvXdAqbAg4Q=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/etoro-analytics/v/999.0.0"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/etoro-analytics/v/99.0.0"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/etoro-analytics/v/99.0.2"}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-019912","import_time":"2026-09-10T05:18:06.103941228Z","modified_time":"2026-09-10T04:44:24Z","sha256":"a87dfbd5f51b30470e8d1df702e746f7c8141fdaafab2237fd1f2ef4897d9ae5","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["999.0.0"]},{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-020001","import_time":"2026-09-11T18:21:32.172814707Z","modified_time":"2026-09-11T17:55:59Z","sha256":"5273aff85f2243e73b1fb50f228c752d9c22ada7f7d17abae33215e2020e13f9","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["99.0.0"]},{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-019998","import_time":"2026-09-11T18:21:32.041312459Z","modified_time":"2026-09-11T17:55:35Z","sha256":"bfe27d37497e77c8f0eca9105a6b64c646c7ef1439c05ec50edaf40215037f92","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["99.0.2"]}]},"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"],"type":"FINDER"}]}
