It retrieves attacker-controlled code via blockchain-derived hosts, evaluates it, and spawns a detached Node process. - **Trigger:** Any runtime/build that requires src/index.js, including the included Tailwind config. - **Impact:** Arbitrary code execution and persistence under the invoking user's privileges. - **Evidence paths:** src/index.js, package.json, tailwind.config.js, scripts/release-channel.js, scripts/release-notes.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-03T08:51:16.907Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Obfuscated import-time remote-code loader with detached process execution. - **Attack narrative:** The package's main entrypoint exports the expected Tailwind plugin, then immediately decodes and evaluates hidden code. That code resolves command hosts from Ethereum transaction bytes, fetches XOR-obfuscated payloads, evaluates a payload in-process, and starts another detached Node process. This creates import-time attacker-controlled execution without a lifecycle hook. - **Rationale:** Direct inspection confirms concrete obfuscated remote payload retrieval, eval, and detached process execution in the main entrypoint. This is malicious regardless of the absence of install hooks. - **Files touched:** src/index.js, package.json, tailwind.config.js, scripts/release-channel.js, scripts/release-notes.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:** src/index.js appends obfuscated eval(atob(...)) after the plugin export., Decoded code runs on module import, queries Ethereum RPCs, and derives remote IPs from transaction data., Decoded code fetches XOR-obfuscated payloads, evals one, and launches another with detached node -e., Payload code references process.env.ETH\_RPC\_URL and non-package network services. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., Other inspected scripts only format release metadata/notes. ## Public findings ### 1.
