Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. No confirmed malicious attack surface was established. The package supplies Tailwind form styles and opt-in release metadata helpers. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-23T04:39:26.843Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-23T04:40:08.444Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 62 ms - **AI review time:** 41032 ms - **Total time:** 41601 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 malicious attack surface was established. The package supplies Tailwind form styles and opt-in release metadata helpers. - **Trigger:** Importing the Tailwind plugin or explicitly running a release script. - **Impact:** No package-driven network, filesystem write, subprocess, or persistence behavior was found. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-23T04:40:08.444Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Generates CSS form rules and prints release metadata. - **Rationale:** The high-signal release files are transparent, manually invoked helpers that only print derived release data. The package has no install hook and its runtime code is confined to Tailwind style registration. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hook; its release scripts are explicit commands., The release-channel helper only derives and prints a release tag from a version., The release-notes helper only reads the package changelog and prints matching notes., The runtime entrypoint is a Tailwind CSS form-style plugin that registers generated style rules. - **Evidence against:** The release helpers reference an environment version and the filesystem, but only for explicit release metadata commands., No network calls, subprocess execution, writes, credential harvesting, or persistence were found in the inspected source. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to tailwind-forms-styles@0.5.1. - Avoid installing tailwind-forms-styles@0.5.1. 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.
