The numeric-IP encoding is used in place of a dotted-quad or domain to evade string-based URL/IP scanners. The main entry (index.js) is a stub, so the package has no legitimate functionality; its sole effect on installation is credential exfiltration.\n","modified":"2026-09-03T16:30:07.118372786Z","published":"2026-09-03T15:52:25Z","database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"import_time":"2026-09-03T16:19:43.719223306Z","modified_time":"2026-09-03T15:52:25Z","sha256":"3064c4e02a71b4d0369c649c6aafe3ed3ecde9e7d119e368b42dc7507ae2bb03","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["1.0.0"],"id":"IN-MAL-2026-019373"}]},"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/@quantixfinance/config/v/1.0.0"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"@quantixfinance/config","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/%40quantixfinance/config"},"versions":["1.0.0"],"database_specific":{"cwes":[{"name":"Embedded Malicious Code","cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature."}],"indicators":{"evidence_files":[{"path":"preinstall.js","sha256":"5ba35e7025a373dac1380e610b797be1612a10b86f792fe5118e4f25ee688686","tlsh":"8e21ba4af5bcf3b641a252b450cbc021a97fa40323c189a76b7c41d5ff468dc65634bb"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"config-1.0.0.tgz","hashes":{"sha512_sri":"sha512-Cv+nnECcr9lajYRDgwBE/TDo4kVdt9TNzmv12RquLAaJk4pR+yBWlRmq6q0owQlyHI5crs2F4F1pEb3ZtkWXFw==","sha1":"b6107b093c598ccfbc81ebee20e21782ce3ef555"}}]},"source":"https://github.com/ossf/malicious-packages/blob/main/osv/malicious/npm/@quantixfinance/config/MAL-2026-15850.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"],"type":"FINDER"}]}
