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:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-20T10:20:05.986Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-20T10:20:29.184Z - **Download time:** 769 ms - **Static scan time:** 43 ms - **AI review time:** 22385 ms - **Total time:** 23198 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 confirmed attack was identified in the inspected package source. The behavior of a required runtime dependency remains unresolved. - **Trigger:** Using the package's Tailwind plugin invokes its style-building path. - **Impact:** The dependency's behavior could not be assessed from the available source, leaving a review gap. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, src/motion.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T10:20:29.184Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The style-building path imports and invokes an unavailable dependency to generate CSS. - **Rationale:** The inspected entry point and source implement a Tailwind animation plugin, and no concrete attack behavior was found. A required runtime dependency could not be resolved to source, so its behavior requires manual review. - **Files touched:** package.json, plugin.js, src/motion.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** The package entry point creates a Tailwind plugin that builds and registers animation styles., The manifest declares @aaron205whitmore/postcss-animate-utils as a runtime dependency, and src/motion.js imports and invokes it to build CSS., That selected dependency's source was unresolved in the supplied snapshot, so its runtime behavior could not be verified. - **Evidence against:** No concrete attack behavior was established in the inspected package source. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to tailwind-fabric@3.0.4. - Avoid installing tailwind-fabric@3.0.4. 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.
