## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Importing the declared main entry executes an obfuscated loader. The loader retrieves a staged payload through Ethereum RPC data and runs it locally.

- **Trigger:** Any Node.js process that imports or requires tailwindcss-3d-animate.

- **Impact:** An attacker can deliver and run arbitrary code in the importing user's environment.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-27T20:11:24.468Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Obfuscated blockchain-backed payload retrieval followed by eval or detached process execution.

- **Attack narrative:** The package's declared main entry imports normally as a Tailwind plugin, then immediately decodes and evaluates an appended hidden program. Static decoding shows that program contacts Ethereum RPC endpoints, finds transaction data, transforms it into a second-stage script, and executes that script through eval or a detached child process. This is an import-time remote code execution loader unrelated to the package's stated CSS functionality.

- **Rationale:** The import-time obfuscated loader provides a concrete staged remote code-execution chain. It is not needed for the advertised Tailwind plugin behavior.

- **Files touched:** index.js

- **Network endpoints:** https://1rpc.io/eth, https://eth.drpc.org, https://ethereum.publicnode.com, https://eth.blockscout.com/api

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** The main module immediately evaluates a large Base64-encoded, heavily obfuscated payload on import., Decoded payload code loads HTTP, HTTPS, compression, URL, and child-process capabilities; it reads ETH\_RPC\_URL and queries Ethereum RPC services., The decoded payload obtains data from blockchain transactions, decrypts it, then executes the recovered code with eval or a detached child process., This behavior is unrelated to Tailwind CSS transforms and permits remotely controlled code execution when the package is imported.

- **Evidence against:** package.json contains no npm lifecycle scripts., The visible plugin code before the appended payload implements Tailwind 3D utility and animation configuration., No package source file writes local files or explicitly harvests credentials.

## Public findings

### 1. Low: Eval
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 45.0%
- **Path:** index.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/tailwindcss-3d-animate@1.2.2/index.js>)

Package source references a known benign dynamic code generation pattern.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L1: "use strict";var _interop_require_default=require("@swc/helpers/_/_interop_require_default"),_object_spread=require("@swc/helpers/_/_object_spread"),_plugin=_interop_require_defaul...
```

### 2. High: Obfuscated Payload Loader
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 86.0%
- **Path:** index.js\#virtual:base64:round1
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/tailwindcss-3d-animate@1.2.2/index.js%23virtual%3Abase64%3Around1>)

Source contains an obfuscated payload loader that reconstructs and executes hidden code.

```

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

Package source contains high-entropy string patterns.

### 4. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 85.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.

### 5. High: Ai Review Evidence
- **Category:** Ai Review
- **Confidence:** 99.0%
- **Path:** index.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/tailwindcss-3d-animate@1.2.2/index.js>)

The main module immediately evaluates a large Base64-encoded, heavily obfuscated payload on import.
