OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-18071 confirms this npm version as malicious. animatecss-tailwind-luminary (2.0.6, 2.0.7) 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 cypherbyte 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... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-20T10:18:08.313Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-20T10:18:52.070Z - **Download time:** 501 ms - **Static scan time:** 29 ms - **AI review time:** 43226 ms - **Total time:** 43757 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:** The package depends on a helper whose behavior could not be established from the inspected source. No concrete attack was identified. - **Trigger:** Tailwind invokes the plugin while processing styles. - **Impact:** The helper's effects remain unknown, so the package cannot be cleared based on the inspected source. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, src/motion.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T10:18:52.070Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The plugin calls the helper through buildMotionBase to generate CSS. - **Rationale:** The inspected package source shows a Tailwind CSS generation flow and no confirmed attack behavior. Its runtime helper dependency is unresolved, so the available source does not support a clean verdict. - **Files touched:** package.json, src/motion.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** The manifest declares @jasperquinn/postcss-motion-helpers as a runtime dependency., The plugin calls buildStyles when Tailwind invokes it, and buildMotionBase invokes the helper to produce CSS., The inspected package source does not establish what the helper does, so its behavior remains unresolved. - **Evidence against:** The inspected plugin source shows CSS generation and Tailwind style registration; no attack behavior was identified in that source. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to animatecss-tailwind-luminary@2.0.6. - Avoid installing animatecss-tailwind-luminary@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.
