LPM AI review remains unresolved. Independent AI assessment: manual\_review. LPM AI review remains unresolved. OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-18083 confirms this npm version as malicious. tailwind-keyframes (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 adriannamrr 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:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-20T10:14:07.617Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-20T10:14:42.488Z - **Download time:** 516 ms - **Static scan time:** 28 ms - **AI review time:** 34326 ms - **Total time:** 34871 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 reviewed package source. One runtime dependency could not be source-reviewed in this snapshot, leaving its behavior unresolved. - **Trigger:** Importing the plugin and building its Tailwind styles invokes the unresolved dependency. - **Impact:** The dependency's behavior cannot be assessed from this snapshot, so a clean conclusion is not established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T10:14:42.488Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The package passes configuration to the dependency as a PostCSS plugin; its implementation was unavailable for inspection. - **Rationale:** The inspected package code performs CSS catalog and Tailwind style generation, with no concrete attack behavior identified. The source for a required runtime dependency was unavailable, so the dependency boundary remains unresolved. - **Files touched:** package.json, plugin.js, src/motion.js, src/catalog.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 @aaron205whitmore/postcss-animate-utils as a runtime dependency, and src/motion.js imports and invokes it while building CSS., The entrypoint builds styles for Tailwind, and src/catalog.js reads Animate.css to extract animation rules. - **Evidence against:** The reviewed entrypoint and source show CSS generation and local Animate.css parsing, with no identified attack behavior. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to tailwind-keyframes@2.0.6. - Avoid installing tailwind-keyframes@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.
