tailwindcss-merge

Package name `tailwindcss-merge` is a one-character edit of the popular `tailwind-merge` utility, and the README documents it as a drop-in (`import {... } from 'tailwindcss-merge'`). `src/index.ts` line 13 ends with a side-effect import `import './lib/lib.min.js';` even though the manifest claims `sideEffects: false`. `src/lib/lib.min.js` is a heavily obfuscated bootstrap that (a) stashes `require` into `global['r']` and `module` into `global['m']`, (b) uses a deterministic Knuth-style string-shuffle seeded with 2540575 to deshuffle the literal `'axhscuutcrogycrneotisjlnkdpfqmzovtrwb'` into the string `'constructor'`, (c) dereferences that to obtain the `Function` constructor, and (d) deshuffles two further opaque blobs and executes them via `Function('', decoded)(decoded2)` followed by `XZs(7942)`. The combination — typosquat name, side-effect import contradicting the manifest, capture of `require`/`module` into globals immediately before a two-stage opaque-string-to-Function eval chain — exists only to hide arbitrary code execution from review. Any consumer who imports this package (directly, or via the `source` field that bundlers like Parcel and Microbundle resolve to `src/index.ts`) executes the eval'd payload at module load with full access to `require`, enabling child-process spawn, network I/O, and filesystem reads. Manifest also points `main` at `./dist/bundle-cjs.js`, but no `dist/` directory ships in the tarball, and `author` is empty — publication-hygiene tells consistent with a hastily-assembled typosquat. ## Source: ghsa-malware (757933d4ef7a3a1e94cb1316d0f0f24d6f5fcb30dd482e130c0fa348939dad66) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
