On module load it issues POST requests carrying a custom x-payload-* header and a spoofed Chrome/Windows User-Agent to a hardcoded blockchain indexer (etherscan/blockscout-style) and to public Ethereum RPC providers (publicnode.com, drpc.org, 1rpc.io, eth-mainnet), reading process.env.ETH_RPC_URL to augment the RPC list, and references a hardcoded Ethereum sender address. None of this behavior is disclosed and none of it corresponds to a Tailwind CSS forms plugin; the repository field also impersonates tailwindlabs. The combination of heavy obfuscation, dynamic-require caching on global, spawn availability, and unsolicited outbound blockchain network I/O at library-load is a covert import-time channel unrelated to the advertised purpose.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (2f393dd02d60e026717c58d23e86b376b0a47b73038607f8ddd9254442f0d1e6)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
