Summary
Malicious code in etoro-billing (npm)
Details

-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-

Source: amazon-inspector (3c1ceae274b450706288722b9f6c049114593ef2671de93ac58c4fd4a7318c9a)

On npm install, the package's preinstall lifecycle hook executes preinstall.js, which reads os.hostname(), os.userInfo().username, and process.cwd() and issues an HTTP GET to http://209.126.81.147/etoro-depconf-poce346552f776f/npm/<hostname>/<username>/<cwd>. The destination is a hardcoded bare-IP over plain HTTP, unrelated to any documented eToro infrastructure. index.js is an empty stub (module.exports = {}), so the only effect of installing this package is the identifier beacon. The package name claims eToro affiliation and is published as version 999.0.0, a high-version pattern used to win resolution against an internal package of the same name (dependency confusion).
