LPM AI review remains unresolved. Independent AI assessment: manual\_review. LPM AI review remains unresolved. OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-18076 confirms this npm version as malicious. signalledger-diagnostics (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 scott-rogers on 2026-09-28. src/motion.js:5 requires the private scoped package @aaron205whitmore/postcss-animate-utils, 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:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-20T10:13:51.675Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-20T10:14:48.643Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 30 ms - **AI review time:** 56426 ms - **Total time:** 56968 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 required runtime dependency's source was unavailable. - **Trigger:** Tailwind invokes the plugin callback to generate styles. - **Impact:** The unavailable dependency prevents a complete source-based assessment; the inspected package code does not establish malicious behavior. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, plugin.js, src/motion.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T10:14:48.643Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The callback reaches a PostCSS plugin imported from an unavailable dependency, so its behavior could not be verified. - **Rationale:** The inspected package source shows a Tailwind CSS plugin with no install lifecycle hook, but it imports an unresolved runtime dependency that is called as a PostCSS plugin. The dependency's behavior cannot be verified from the available source, so the package requires manual review without evidence of an attack. - **Files touched:** package.json, plugin.js, src/motion.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** package.json declares @aaron205whitmore/postcss-animate-utils as a runtime dependency., src/motion.js imports that dependency and calls it as a PostCSS plugin., The plugin builds animation styles through src/motion.js when Tailwind invokes its callback. - **Evidence against:** The inspected package manifest contains no install lifecycle hook; its scripts are lint and test., The inspected plugin path uses the dependency to build and register CSS styles. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to signalledger-diagnostics@2.0.6. - Avoid installing signalledger-diagnostics@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.
