It retrieves and runs remote code, then detaches a Node process. - **Trigger:** Loading the package main entry, including using it as a Tailwind plugin. - **Impact:** Arbitrary remote code execution in the consumer environment. - **Evidence paths:** src/index.js, package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-31T15:20:05.364Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Obfuscated remote payload loader with eval and detached process spawning. - **Attack narrative:** The main entry ends with an obfuscated payload that runs during module import. Its decoded logic queries Ethereum services to derive a remote HTTP location, retrieves code from that location, evaluates it, and launches it in a detached Node process. This creates a covert, attacker-controlled remote-code-execution path unrelated to Tailwind animations. - **Rationale:** The package contains a concealed import-time loader that obtains and executes remote code, then persists it as a detached process. The absence of lifecycle hooks does not mitigate this direct runtime execution path. - **Files touched:** src/index.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 hides an immediately invoked Base64 payload behind eval(atob(...))., The decoded payload fetches attacker-selected code over HTTP, evaluates it, and starts a detached Node process., package.json makes src/index.js the main entry, so importing the Tailwind plugin activates the payload. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no npm install lifecycle hook., The visible plugin code configures Tailwind animation utilities, but it is followed by unrelated hidden execution. ## Public findings ### 1.
