LPM AI review remains unresolved. Independent AI assessment: manual\_review. LPM AI review remains unresolved. OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-18067 confirms this npm version as malicious. animate-twcss-pack (2.0.6) is a Tailwind CSS plugin from the fake job interview campaign behind MAL-2026-17665 and MAL-2026-17666: the same Animate.css integration template, README and description, published by enterprise0908 on 2026-09-28. src/motion.js:5 requires the private scoped package @jasperquinn/postcss-motion-helpers, which is not readable on the public registry and resolves only with the npm token... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 79.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-20T10:12:11.426Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-20T10:12:37.001Z - **Download time:** 508 ms - **Static scan time:** 29 ms - **AI review time:** 25037 ms - **Total time:** 25575 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No attack was identified in the inspected package source. An imported helper’s behavior remains unresolved. - **Trigger:** Using the Tailwind plugin to build styles. - **Impact:** The helper’s behavior and any resulting impact could not be assessed from the available source. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, plugin.js, src/motion.js, src/styles.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T10:12:37.001Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The plugin’s style builder invokes a PostCSS helper whose source was unavailable for inspection. - **Rationale:** The package source shows the unresolved helper is on the style-building path, but does not establish malicious behavior. Review remains unresolved because the helper’s source was unavailable. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 79.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** package.json declares the unresolved @jasperquinn/postcss-motion-helpers dependency at ^1.0.1., plugin.js imports styles, which imports motion.js; motion.js loads the unresolved helper and passes it to PostCSS when building styles., The helper’s source could not be verified, so its behavior remains unresolved. - **Evidence against:** The inspected package entrypoint uses the helper to build PostCSS styles; no malicious behavior was established in the inspected source. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to animate-twcss-pack@2.0.6. - Avoid installing animate-twcss-pack@2.0.6. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
