The loader retrieves attacker-directed code via a blockchain-derived host and executes it in-process and in detached Node processes. - **Trigger:** Any runtime import/require of @vboxdev/common main entrypoint. - **Impact:** Arbitrary code execution in the consuming application's account; embedded service credentials are also exposed. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, build/index.js, build/middlewares/push-notification.js, build/services/serviceAccountKey.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T18:28:22.536Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Obfuscated blockchain-addressed remote payload loader with eval and detached Node execution. - **Attack narrative:** When the package main entrypoint is imported, its trailing base64-obfuscated loader runs. It queries Ethereum services, extracts an IPv4 address from a selected transaction, downloads XOR-obfuscated code from that dynamic host, evals it, and launches detached \`node -e\` instances containing the fetched code. This is a covert remote-code-execution chain unrelated to the package's middleware functionality. - **Rationale:** The import-time, obfuscated, blockchain-addressed payload retrieval and execution chain is concrete malicious behavior. Absence of an install hook does not mitigate runtime RCE on normal package use. - **Files touched:** build/index.js, build/services/serviceAccountKey.json - **Network endpoints:** https://1rpc.io/eth, https://eth.drpc.org, https://ethereum-rpc.publicnode.com, https://eth-mainnet.public.blastapi.io, https://eth.blockscout.com/api ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** build/index.js appends an obfuscated eval(atob(...)) payload to the main entrypoint., The decoded payload runs immediately on module import and queries Ethereum RPC/explorer services., It derives a remote IPv4 host from blockchain transaction data, fetches XOR-obfuscated payloads, and evals one., It spawns detached \`node -e\` processes with fetched code, enabling remote code execution., build/services/serviceAccountKey.json embeds a Firebase service-account private key. - **Evidence against:** package.json contains no npm lifecycle hook., Other exports implement ordinary middleware and event helpers. ## Public findings ### 1.
