## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Arbitrary attacker-controlled code can execute in the importing Node process and persist as detached child processes.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution
- **Selected version:** 0.5.19
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

Both published module entrypoints include an import-time, obfuscated remote payload loader not present in src/. It derives a host from blockchain data, retrieves code, evaluates it, and launches detached Node processes.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Both published module entrypoints include an import-time, obfuscated remote payload loader not present in src/. It derives a host from blockchain data, retrieves code, evaluates it, and launches detached Node processes.

- **Trigger:** Importing or requiring the package's CJS or ESM entrypoint.

- **Impact:** Arbitrary attacker-controlled code can execute in the importing Node process and persist as detached child processes.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, src/api/client.ts, src/components/modal.ts, src/index.ts, src/voxepay.ts, dist/index.cjs.js, dist/index.esm.js

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Obfuscated blockchain-addressed remote code execution with detached-process launch.

- **Attack narrative:** On import, the appended loader contacts Ethereum RPC/block-explorer services, locates a transaction from a hard-coded address, and interprets transaction bytes as command-host IP addresses. It fetches XOR-obfuscated payloads from those hosts, evaluates one in-process, and starts another with detached node -e execution. This is concealed in built artifacts and absent from reviewed TypeScript source.

- **Rationale:** The package contains a concrete, import-time remote-code-execution chain with stealthy second-stage retrieval and detached execution. The legitimate payment SDK source does not account for this appended artifact payload.

- **Files touched:** dist/index.cjs.js, dist/index.esm.js

- **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:** dist/index.cjs.js appends obfuscated eval(atob(...)) after exports., Decoded payload runs immediately on module import and requires child\_process., Payload queries Ethereum RPC/block explorers to derive a command host., It fetches XOR-obfuscated second-stage code, evals it, and spawns detached node processes., The same appended loader is present in dist/index.esm.js.

- **Evidence against:** src/ contains a conventional browser payment SDK and no matching loader., package.json has only prepublishOnly; no install lifecycle hook.

## Public findings

### 1. Low: Non Install Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 80.0%

Package declares lifecycle scripts that are not normally run for registry tarball installs.

### 2. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

### 3. Low: Eval
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 45.0%
- **Path:** dist/index.cjs.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@voxepay/checkout@0.5.19/dist/index.cjs.js>)

Package source references a known benign dynamic code generation pattern.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L2270: exports.validateCardNumber = validateCardNumber;
L2271: exports.validateExpiry = validateExpiry;                                                                                                                                            ...
L2272: //# sourceMappingURL=index.cjs.js.map
```

### 4. Medium: Network
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references network APIs.

### 5. Low: High Entropy Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 55.0%

Package source contains high-entropy string patterns.

### 6. Low: Url Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 65.0%

Package source contains URL literals.

### 7. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 65.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.
