LPM AI review remains unresolved. Independent AI assessment: manual\_review. LPM AI review remains unresolved. OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-18082 confirms this npm version as malicious. tailwind-fabric (3.0.1, 3.0.4) 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 johnxia1997 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:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-20T10:16:51.743Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-20T10:17:26.490Z - **Download time:** 250 ms - **Static scan time:** 28 ms - **AI review time:** 34468 ms - **Total time:** 34747 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 behavior was identified in the inspected package source. The runtime behavior of a declared dependency remains unresolved because its source was unavailable in the supplied snapshot. - **Trigger:** Tailwind invokes the plugin to build styles. - **Impact:** The unresolved dependency prevents confirming the package’s complete runtime behavior. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, src/motion.js, src/styles.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T10:17:26.490Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Style generation calls the imported animation utility; its implementation could not be reviewed. - **Rationale:** The inspected code supports ordinary CSS plugin behavior and shows no concrete attack. The declared runtime dependency’s source is unavailable, so the package cannot be cleared; manual review is appropriate. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** package.json declares the scoped animation utility as a runtime dependency; src/motion.js imports it and src/styles.js calls it while building styles., The entrypoint registers a Tailwind plugin that builds and adds CSS base styles and utilities., The imported dependency’s source could not be inspected in the supplied snapshot, so its runtime behavior remains unresolved. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hook; its scripts are for linting and tests., The inspected package code builds CSS styles and utilities, with no identified network, credential, shell, or file mutation behavior. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to tailwind-fabric@3.0.1. - Avoid installing tailwind-fabric@3.0.1. 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.
