OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-15854 confirms this npm version as malicious. The package's preinstall lifecycle script enumerates process.env and collects any variable whose name matches credential-shaped keywords (key, secret, token, pass, mnemonic, seed, private, wallet, rpc, infura, alchemy, database, api, and similar), augments the payload with hostname, cwd, and Node version, and POSTs the JSON body to a hardcoded remote endpoint...

Summary
Malicious code in @quantixfinance/token (npm)
Details
The package's preinstall lifecycle script enumerates process.env and collects any variable whose name matches credential-shaped keywords (key, secret, token, pass, mnemonic, seed, private, wallet, rpc, infura, alchemy, database, api, and similar), augments the payload with hostname, cwd, and Node version, and POSTs the JSON body to a hardcoded remote endpoint. The destination is obfuscated as the integer literal 759017974, which Node's http.request coerces to IPv4 45.60.227.246, on port 61289. The package's index.js exports no-op token functions with no real functionality, so the preinstall exfiltration is the entire payload behind a stub cover story.
