Summary
Malicious code in tailwindcss-3d-animate (npm)
Details

-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-

Source: amazon-inspector (bc554005eb9004f33d22597b929261d865d4bfe991d0b99d148dc25fffb7e97c)

index.js re-exports the legitimate tailwindcss-3d plugin and then appends eval(atob("...")) at module top level, so the payload runs on any require('tailwindcss-3d-animate'). The decoded blob is an obfuscator.io string-array/control-flow-flattened bundle (_0x240a rotation, global['r']=require, global['m']=module) that pulls in http/https/zlib/childprocess and executes network-fetched code. Decoded strings reveal an Ethereum-address-as-dead-drop staging channel: Etherscan-style ?module=account&action=txlist&address=0xa322E5f3...D311D3080e...9aDC2490Ef queries against public RPC/explorer hosts (drpc.org, eth-mainnet.publicnode, *.blockscout.com) are used to read attacker-controlled on-chain data as the next-stage URL, which is then zlib-inflated and executed via Function/eval and childprocess spawn. The package name typosquats the legitimate tailwindcss-3d (same sambauers/tailwindcss-3d repo URL) and reproduces its source verbatim as cover.

Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. 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.
