LPM AI review remains unresolved. Independent AI assessment: manual\_review. LPM AI review remains unresolved. OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-18085 confirms this npm version as malicious. tailwindcss-animate-catalog (2.0.6, 2.0.7) 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 hackson306623 on 2026-09-28. lib/styles/variables.js:5 requires the private scoped package @jasperquinn/postcss-motion-helpers, which is not readable on the public registry and resolves only... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-20T10:14:51.682Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-20T10:15:24.705Z - **Download time:** 516 ms - **Static scan time:** 44 ms - **AI review time:** 32463 ms - **Total time:** 33023 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 is confirmed from the inspected package source, but an invoked dependency remains unreviewed. - **Trigger:** Tailwind invokes the plugin callback to generate styles. - **Impact:** The dependency's behavior cannot be determined from this snapshot, leaving its runtime effects unresolved. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, lib/styles/index.js, lib/styles/variables.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T10:15:24.705Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Style generation calls buildVariables, which invokes the unresolved scoped dependency as a PostCSS plugin. - **Rationale:** The package source connects style generation to a scoped registry dependency whose source is unavailable in this snapshot. That unresolved executable boundary prevents a clean determination, but the inspected source does not establish malicious behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json, index.js, lib/styles/index.js, lib/styles/variables.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** package.json declares the unresolved registry dependency @jasperquinn/postcss-motion-helpers at ^1.0.1., Plugin style generation calls buildVariables, which loads and invokes that dependency as a PostCSS plugin; its source is unavailable for review. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to tailwindcss-animate-catalog@2.0.7. - Avoid installing tailwindcss-animate-catalog@2.0.7. 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.
