OpenSSF/OSV malware advisory MAL-2026-14512 identifies this version as malicious and supplies the Firewall block.

OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-14512 confirms this npm version as malicious. dist/index.js exports a small legitimate scrollbarHide Tailwind plugin and then executes \`eval(atob('\<~39KB base64\>'))\` at module top level, so the payload runs on any require()/import of the package. The decoded body is packed with an obfuscator.io-style string-array dispatcher (\`\_0x355e\` / \`\_0x12f0\` with shuffling) that hides all string literals, and it dynamically resolves \`node:http\`, \`node:https\`, \`node:zlib\`,...

## Public findings

### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory
- **Category:** External Intel
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

dist/index.js exports a small legitimate scrollbarHide Tailwind plugin and then executes \`eval(atob('\<~39KB base64\>'))\` at module top level, so the payload runs on any require()/import of the package. The decoded body is packed with an obfuscator.io-style string-array dispatcher (\`\_0x355e\` / \`\_0x12f0\` with shuffling) that hides all string literals, and it dynamically resolves \`node:http\`, \`node:https\`, \`node:zlib\`, and \`child\_process.spawn\` via \`createRequire(import.meta.url)\`. At runtime it assembles an Ethereum RPC endpoint list from \`process.env.ETH\_RPC\_URL\` plus hardcoded providers including \`\*.publicnode.com\` and \`h.drpc.org\`, together with an indexer URL and a hardcoded \`SENDER\` Ethereum address, and issues \`eth\_blockNumber\` and block-range requests — the shape of an on-chain wallet-monitoring / drainer relay embedded in a CSS-only utility. A Tailwind scrollbar-hiding plugin has no legitimate need to eval a base64 blob, spawn child processes, open network sockets, or scan Ethereum blocks on import.

All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
