## Source: amazon-inspector (d31819832ff4b43fc9bc7bcd9f3439f71902802331ba6df3c3964c47765397e1) The preinstall lifecycle script in etoro-client@999.0.0 unconditionally sends the installer's hostname, OS username, and current working directory to the hardcoded bare-IP endpoint http://209.126.81.147/etoro-depconf-poce346552f776f/npm/<host>/<user>/<cwd> over plain HTTP at `npm install` time. The package name combined with the implausibly high 999.0.0 version and the `depconf` path token indicate a dependency-confusion attack targeting an internal `etoro-client` package: publishing a high-version public namesake so that misconfigured resolvers pull this artifact instead of the private internal one. The preinstall beacon then confirms successful landing on a target and identifies the host, user, and build path.
