Malicious code in etoro-auth (npm)

CISA KEV lists vulnerabilities known to be exploited. FIRST EPSS estimates the likelihood of exploitation in the next 30 days. An unavailable score does not mean zero risk.

No exploitation or prediction data is available here for these CVEs. This does not mean they are safe or unlikely to be exploited.

--- _-= Per source details.

It then executes `whoami`, `id`, and `hostname -f` (or `whoami /all` on Windows) via child_process and POSTs the command output to the same endpoint. The package's main entry (index.js) is empty; the only shipped behavior is the reconnaissance beacon. The package name and version ([email protected]) together with the URL path segment `etoro-nuget-verify` fit a dependency-confusion probe targeting eToro's internal namespace, with the high version number used to win resolution against an internal package of the same name. ## Source: ossf-package-analysis (de55cf40132e522735bf8195a1616bb5c19e2ca8a316ef7b807465d1b65208b9) The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'etoro-auth' @ 99.0.0 (npm) as malicious. It is considered malicious because: - The package executes one or more commands associated with malicious behavior.
