Adminide utils for higher packages to depend on
AI Security Review
scanned 22h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe main entry runs concealed code automatically on import and executes JavaScript retrieved from dynamically discovered hosts. This is concrete remote code execution unrelated to the package’s logger utility purpose.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
Importing the package through its lib/index.js main entry.
Impact
Remote code can run with the importing process’s privileges, including access to its files, credentials, and environment.
Mechanism
A top-level bootstrap decodes a hidden payload. It queries Ethereum RPC services and Blockscout, derives IP addresses from a fixed sender’s transaction, fetches an XOR-encoded payload over HTTP, and evaluates it or starts it in a detached Node process.
Attack narrative
Importing the package automatically starts an obfuscated loader. It queries public Ethereum services to find IP addresses associated with a hardcoded sender, retrieves XOR-decoded JavaScript from those addresses, and executes the payload, including through a detached Node process. This gives the remote operator code execution in the importing process’s environment.
AI rationale
The main entry runs concealed code automatically on import and executes JavaScript retrieved from dynamically discovered hosts. This is concrete remote code execution unrelated to the package’s logger utility purpose.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- package.json sets lib/index.js as the package entry point, so its top-level code runs on import.
- lib/index.js defines custom string shuffling and invokes a Function constructor on the decoded payload inside a top-level bootstrap.
- Decoded payload discovers IP addresses through Ethereum RPC and Blockscout, downloads XOR-decoded JavaScript over HTTP, then evaluates it and launches it in a detached Node process.
Evidence against
- The manifest declares no preinstall, install, or postinstall script.
- The bundle’s ordinary visible export is a console logger.
