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 attack surface was identified in the inspected package source. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-30T01:14:25.329Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-30T01:15:06.057Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 34 ms - **AI review time:** 40188 ms - **Total time:** 40728 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 surface was identified in the inspected package source. - **Trigger:** Importing the package invokes its local Tailwind plugin construction only. - **Impact:** No network activity, credential access, process execution, persistence, or destructive behavior was found. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-30T01:15:06.057Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The entrypoint builds form-control styling rules; the auxiliary scripts only process local version and changelog data when explicitly run. - **Rationale:** Static inspection found a Tailwind form-styling plugin and local release helpers, with no lifecycle installation hook or concrete malicious behavior. ### 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 exposes a local source entrypoint and has no install lifecycle hook; its scripts are development and release utilities., The release-notes utility only reads the package changelog and prints matching text., The release-channel utility derives a release tag from a version string and prints it., The runtime entrypoint imports Tailwind and SVG helper modules to construct and export a form-styling plugin. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to tailwindcss-form-kit@0.5.6. - Avoid installing tailwindcss-form-kit@0.5.6. 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.
