It evaluates a retrieved payload and launches it as a detached Node process. - **Trigger:** Any consumer or Tailwind configuration that requires/imports tailwind-custom-templates. - **Impact:** Remote code execution in the importing user's Node environment, with stealthy detached-process persistence potential. - **Evidence paths:** src/index.js, package.json, scripts/release-notes.js, scripts/release-channel.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-13T17:18:17.361Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Obfuscated Ethereum-RPC staged payload retrieval followed by eval and detached child-process execution. - **Attack narrative:** The package's main entry first provides form-style plugin code, then appends an obfuscated loader. On import, it reads an optional Ethereum RPC environment setting and queries network sources for staged data. The loader derives a command from that data, evaluates it in-process, and spawns a detached hidden Node process. This creates concrete remote code execution during ordinary package use without an npm lifecycle hook. - **Rationale:** The appended import-time payload is unrelated to a Tailwind forms plugin and contains concrete obfuscated staging, eval, and detached process execution. The lack of lifecycle hooks does not mitigate execution when the declared main entry is loaded. - **Files touched:** src/index.js, package.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** src/index.js appends a large obfuscated payload to the legitimate Tailwind plugin., The imported main module requires HTTP/HTTPS, zlib, URL, and child\_process.spawn., The payload reads ETH\_RPC\_URL and uses RPC/network response data to construct a second-stage command., It directly evals the constructed payload and starts a detached hidden Node child process., The malicious async payload is invoked at module import time; no npm lifecycle hook is needed. - **Evidence against:** package.json contains no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The visible release scripts only derive release metadata and read CHANGELOG.md. ## Public findings ### 1.
