OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-15855 confirms this npm version as malicious. The package's declared preinstall script iterates process.env, filters keys against a broad credential/secret keyword list (key, secret, token, pass, private, mnemonic, seed, api, wallet, tron, rpc, infura, alchemy, database, supabase, vercel, railway, and similar), attaches hostname, cwd, and node version, and POSTs the collected JSON to a hardcoded IPv4 host encoded as the integer literal 759017974 (45.61.177.246)...

Summary
Malicious code in @quantixfinance/tron (npm)
Details
The package's declared preinstall script iterates process.env, filters keys against a broad credential/secret keyword list (key, secret, token, pass, private, mnemonic, seed, api, wallet, tron, rpc, infura, alchemy, database, supabase, vercel, railway, and similar), attaches hostname, cwd, and node version, and POSTs the collected JSON to a hardcoded IPv4 host encoded as the integer literal 759017974 (45.61.177.246) on port 61289 with a random-hex path. Numeric-integer encoding of the destination hides the address from string/URL scanners. The shipped index.js is a two-line no-op stub and the README does not mention any network activity, so the package's only material behavior on npm install is credential harvesting.
Decision reason
OpenSSF Malicious Packages via OSV confirms @quantixfinance/tron@1.0.0 as malicious (MAL-2026-15855): Malicious code in @quantixfinance/tron (npm)
