It resolves command servers through blockchain data, decodes server responses, then executes them in-process and detached. - **Trigger:** A consumer require()s or imports the package main entrypoint. - **Impact:** Arbitrary attacker-supplied code execution in the importing user's environment, with persistence-like detached execution. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, lib/postcss.js, lib/postcss.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-02T14:31:47.286Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Import-time remote payload retrieval, XOR decoding, eval, and detached child-process execution. - **Attack narrative:** The main CommonJS module contains a concealed IIFE appended after its legitimate export. On import it queries Ethereum RPC/block-explorer services to locate transaction data, derives remote HTTP command hosts, retrieves XOR-obfuscated payloads, evaluates one payload, and runs another via a detached hidden Node child process. This is concrete, unconsented remote code execution. - **Rationale:** The package has a normal-looking PostCSS facade, but its import-time appended payload is an explicit remote loader and executor. The behavior is unrelated to the declared CSS transformation purpose. - **Files touched:** lib/postcss.js - **Network endpoints:** https://eth.blockscout.com/api, https://1rpc.io/eth, https://eth.drpc.org, https://ethereum-rpc.publicnode.com, https://eth-mainnet.public.blastapi.io ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** lib/postcss.js:101 appends an immediately invoked async payload after the normal export., Importing the main entrypoint starts Ethereum RPC/block-explorer requests to derive command hosts., The payload XOR-decodes remote responses and executes one with eval()., It spawns a detached, hidden node process to execute another decoded remote response., package.json has no lifecycle hook; execution occurs on ordinary require/import. - **Evidence against:** The preceding lib/postcss.js implementation is normal PostCSS-compatible API code., No package lifecycle scripts are declared. ## Public findings ### 1.
