The destination is a plain-HTTP bare-IP host unrelated to any legitimate eToro publishing infrastructure. The package name combined with the implausibly high version number (999.0.0) is the canonical dependency-confusion shape used to force resolution over an internal private package of the same name.\n","affected":[{"package":{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"etoro-api"},"versions":["999.0.0"],"database_specific":{"cwes":[{"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-api-999.0.0.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"f86eb01145e13c2a2305b30ad476a41bd84445c7","sha512_sri":"sha512-DqUrDaBspfB3y7lvYFrBvfMvjnHRlwBvfrWJPnrVn5XxSn6mFIDl7NYy4SSxjMmWAdQuE8QeaSqDXq3FOGhEnQ=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/etoro-api/v/999.0.0"}],"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","type":"FINDER","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"]}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-019911","import_time":"2026-09-10T05:18:06.043449146Z","modified_time":"2026-09-10T04:44:16Z","sha256":"ab6228f994962694d4434f53d20d6a5a1b877b39a3498236327da9d0385284d9","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["999.0.0"]}]}}
