LPM AI review remains unresolved. Independent AI assessment: manual\_review. LPM AI review remains unresolved. OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-18089 confirms this npm version as malicious. tailwindcss-motionanimate (1.0.1) 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 doublekk61 on 2026-09-28. src/motion.js:5 requires the private scoped package @jasperquinn/postcss-motion-helpers, which is not readable on the public registry and resolves only with the npm token... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-20T10:14:48.130Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-20T10:15:24.659Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 29 ms - **AI review time:** 35993 ms - **Total time:** 36529 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 identified in the inspected package source. A required runtime helper could not be reviewed, leaving the active style-generation path unresolved. - **Trigger:** The Tailwind plugin callback runs during Tailwind configuration processing. - **Impact:** The helper's behavior cannot be assessed from this snapshot, so the runtime review is incomplete. - **Evidence paths:** src/motion.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T10:15:24.659Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The callback builds styles, and that path invokes the unavailable helper as a PostCSS plugin. - **Rationale:** The inspected source follows a CSS plugin path, but a required helper on that active path has unresolved registry source. This prevents a clean verdict without independently establishing malicious behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json, plugin.js, src/motion.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** package.json declares @jasperquinn/postcss-motion-helpers as a required runtime dependency., src/motion.js imports and invokes that helper to build PostCSS output; its source was unavailable for inspection., plugin.js reaches the style-building path when the Tailwind plugin runs. - **Evidence against:** The inspected entry point and source describe generating Tailwind CSS styles; no attack behavior was identified in those excerpts. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to tailwindcss-motionanimate@1.0.1. - Avoid installing tailwindcss-motionanimate@1.0.1. 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.
