OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-18081 confirms this npm version as malicious. tailwind-css-keyframes (1.0.7) 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 kinsley\_badu 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:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-20T10:19:36.620Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-20T10:20:06.775Z - **Download time:** 505 ms - **Static scan time:** 29 ms - **AI review time:** 29620 ms - **Total time:** 30155 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 concrete attack was identified in the inspected package source. Its active CSS generation path invokes a required helper whose source was unavailable, so that behavior remains unresolved. - **Trigger:** Tailwind invokes the exported plugin to generate styles. - **Impact:** No harmful effect is established, but the helper’s behavior could not be assessed. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, src/motion.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T10:20:06.775Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The plugin builds styles through a function that calls the unavailable helper as a PostCSS plugin. - **Rationale:** The inspected package source shows a CSS plugin and no lifecycle hooks. Because a required helper dependency is imported and invoked but its source is unavailable, the package cannot be cleared as clean from this snapshot. - **Files touched:** package.json, plugin.js, src/motion.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** The manifest declares @jasperquinn/postcss-motion-helpers as a required dependency., The plugin imports and invokes that helper while building CSS styles., The helper’s source was unavailable for inspection in this snapshot. - **Evidence against:** The package manifest has no install or runtime lifecycle hook; its scripts are lint and test commands. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to tailwind-css-keyframes@1.0.7. - Avoid installing tailwind-css-keyframes@1.0.7. 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.
