OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-5619 confirms this npm version as malicious. tailwind-typography-plus@2.1.0 impersonates the legitimate @tailwindcss/typography Tailwind CSS plugin (confusable name, copied plugin export shape, identical modifier and color-theme names) and weaponizes that drop-in usage with require-time arbitrary code execution.

Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis No additional public attack-surface or AI-review details are available. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to tailwind-typography-plus@2.1.0. - Avoid installing tailwind-typography-plus@2.1.0. 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. High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% tailwind-typography-plus@2.1.0 impersonates the legitimate @tailwindcss/typography Tailwind CSS plugin (confusable name, copied plugin export shape, identical modifier and color-theme names) and weaponizes that drop-in usage with require-time arbitrary code execution. The package main src/index.js calls initScaleEngine() at top level, which runs src/responsive-scale.js. responsive-scale.js loads data/font-metrics.json, reverses an obfuscation transform over the 'ratio' floats (byte = round((ratio - 0.10) / 1.75 \* 255)) to reconstruct a UTF-8 source string, then compiles it with \`new Function('require','process','Buffer','console', source)\` and immediately invokes the resulting function with full Node context (require, process, Buffer, console). Whatever bytes the maintainer encodes into font-metrics.json execute with full Node privileges on every \`require('tailwind-typography-plus')\`, with no signature, hash, or origin check. Separately, src/styles.js contains a top-level IIFE that on require creates os.tmpdir()/.tailwind-color-space-v2, evades CI environments via \`!process.env.CI &&!process.env.TAILWIND\_DISABLE\_TELEMETRY\`, and writes probe-\.json containing arch, platform, execPath, and timestamp. The file carries an author comment explicitly labelled 'STEALTH PAYLOAD AREA / Replace the example below with your actual virus logic. / This executes once on first build after npm install.' — the package documents itself as malware scaffolding. The combination of typosquat naming, copied API surface, obfuscated require-time code-execution dropper, and self-labelled payload-insertion point is malicious by design. \#\# Source: ghsa-malware (c7c8d8dc7e81d4a27f46d92be719778dbd259d92a62e77e19c7242335c2d2d73) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.

The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** No - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 0 ## Package metadata - **Package:** tailwind-typography-plus - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 2.1.0 - **Version published:** 2026-06-11T07:04:03.631Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Known versions:** 1 - **Latest version:** 2.1.0 - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]() - [ADVISORY]()
