## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Arbitrary attacker-controlled code execution and persistence outside the intended scroll-control functionality.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution
- **Selected version:** 2.5.2
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

Importing any published CommonJS or ESM entrypoint activates an obfuscated remote loader. It retrieves staged instructions through Ethereum data and executes downloaded code in the host Node process or a detached child.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Importing any published CommonJS or ESM entrypoint activates an obfuscated remote loader. It retrieves staged instructions through Ethereum data and executes downloaded code in the host Node process or a detached child.

- **Trigger:** Application build, server, or tooling imports react-scroll-disable.

- **Impact:** Arbitrary attacker-controlled code execution and persistence outside the intended scroll-control functionality.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/es5/index.js, dist/es2015/index.js, dist/es2019/index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-03T08:53:32.384Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Obfuscated blockchain-addressed remote payload loader with eval and detached child-process execution.

- **Attack narrative:** Each public entrypoint appends a Base64-obfuscated immediate async loader. It contacts configured/public Ethereum RPC services, locates transaction data, derives further hosts, retrieves an encoded payload, and executes it via eval or a detached \`node -e\` process. This is unrelated to the advertised React scroll utility and runs solely on import.

- **Rationale:** Confirmed import-time staged remote code execution in all published entrypoints. The absence of install hooks does not mitigate the concrete runtime execution chain.

- **Files touched:** dist/es5/index.js, dist/es2015/index.js, dist/es2019/index.js

- **Network endpoints:** https://eth.blockscout.com/api, 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:** All three published entrypoints append obfuscated \`eval(atob(...))\`., Decoded loader runs immediately when the package entrypoint is imported., Loader queries Ethereum RPCs, including \`eth.blockscout.com\` and \`eth-mainnet.public.blastapi.io\`, for staged data., It derives remote hosts, fetches a payload, XOR-decodes it, then executes it with \`eval\` or detached \`node -e\`., \`package.json\` exposes the compromised files as main/module entrypoints.

- **Evidence against:** No npm preinstall/install/postinstall hook is declared., The visible React scroll-control modules are package-aligned, but do not constrain the appended loader.

## Public findings

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

Package declares npm scripts.

### 2. Low: Eval
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 45.0%
- **Path:** dist/es5/index.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/react-scroll-disable@2.5.2/dist/es5/index.js>)

Package source references a known benign dynamic code generation pattern.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L5: var Combination_1 = tslib_1.__importDefault(require("./Combination"));
L6: exports.RemoveScroll = Combination_1.default;                                                                                                                                       ...
```

### 3. High: Same File Env Network Execution
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 85.0%
- **Path:** dist/es5/index.js\#virtual:base64:round1
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/react-scroll-disable@2.5.2/dist/es5/index.js%23virtual%3Abase64%3Around1>)

A single source file combines environment access, network access, and code or shell execution; review context before blocking.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```text
L1: global.i="A11--#";global.r=require;typeof module==="object"&&(global.m=module);const http=require("\u0068\u0074\u0074\u0070"),https=require("\u0068\u0074\u0074\u0070\u0073"),zlib=r...
```

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

Package source contains high-entropy string patterns.
