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:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-20T10:13:39.343Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-20T10:14:22.037Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 30 ms - **AI review time:** 42152 ms - **Total time:** 42694 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. Review remains unresolved because a runtime dependency is invoked but its source was unavailable. - **Trigger:** Using the exported Tailwind plugin to build styles. - **Impact:** The helper's behavior cannot be assessed from the inspected source, so its runtime risk remains unknown. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, src/motion.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T10:14:22.037Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The plugin invokes the unavailable helper as a PostCSS plugin while generating motion styles. - **Rationale:** The package's inspected source implements a Tailwind CSS plugin, but it invokes a declared runtime dependency whose source was unavailable for review. Because that dependency's behavior cannot be resolved, the package cannot be marked clean from this inspection. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** package.json declares @jasperquinn/postcss-motion-helpers as a runtime dependency., src/motion.js loads that dependency and invokes it as a PostCSS plugin when building motion styles., plugin.js reaches style building through the exported Tailwind plugin. - **Evidence against:** The inspected package code uses the helper to process CSS, but the helper source was unavailable for review. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to animatecss-tailwind-luminary@2.0.7. - Avoid installing animatecss-tailwind-luminary@2.0.7. 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.
