It derives C2 addresses from Ethereum data, downloads encoded code, evaluates it, and launches detached Node processes. - **Trigger:** Importing postcss-theme-provider; plugin creation also reaches a duplicate loader. - **Impact:** Arbitrary attacker-controlled code execution in the consumer environment, with persistence-capable detached processes. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, packages/core/package.json, packages/core/src/index.ts, packages/core/src/plugin.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-08T07:45:43.398Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Blockchain-backed staged remote-code loader with eval and detached child process execution. - **Attack narrative:** The package hides an import-time loader after legitimate exports. It reads Ethereum blockchain data through public RPC services, extracts bytes to construct runtime HTTP hosts, fetches XOR-decoded payloads, evaluates one payload, and starts detached Node processes for both payloads. This is a staged remote-code-execution chain unrelated to a PostCSS theme plugin. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms concrete staged remote execution and detached process launch, not merely suspicious primitives. Absence of lifecycle hooks does not mitigate import-time execution. - **Files touched:** packages/core/src/index.ts, packages/core/src/plugin.ts - **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:** Obfuscated payload is appended to packages/core/src/index.ts at module scope., Payload queries Ethereum RPC/block explorer data to derive runtime hosts., It fetches XOR-decoded remote content, then evaluates it., It spawns detached node -e processes with the fetched payload., The same concealed loader is embedded in packages/core/src/plugin.ts. - **Evidence against:** Root package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The visible PostCSS artifact-writing logic is package-aligned. ## Public findings ### 1.
