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:** 76.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-20T10:15:46.970Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-20T10:16:24.948Z - **Download time:** 260 ms - **Static scan time:** 45 ms - **AI review time:** 37672 ms - **Total time:** 37978 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 confirmed in the inspected package source. The behavior of a runtime dependency could not be verified, leaving a limited unresolved supply-chain risk. - **Trigger:** Importing the plugin loads its style modules; invoking the plugin builds CSS styles. - **Impact:** The dependency's behavior remains unassessed, so its possible effects cannot be established from the inspected source. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, lib/styles/variables.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T10:16:24.948Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The style code imports the dependency and invokes it as a PostCSS plugin while generating variables; its implementation was unavailable for inspection. - **Rationale:** The package source shows a CSS plugin workflow and no install lifecycle hook, but a selected runtime dependency could not be verified. That unresolved dependency prevents a clean verdict; 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:** 76.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** package.json declares @jasperquinn/postcss-motion-helpers as a runtime dependency., The plugin builds styles through lib/styles/variables.js, which imports and invokes that dependency. - **Evidence against:** The manifest lists lint and test scripts, with no install lifecycle script., The inspected code uses the dependency to generate CSS variables; no attack behavior was confirmed. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to tailwindcss-animate-catalog@2.0.6. - Avoid installing tailwindcss-animate-catalog@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.
