The published tarball contains no install scripts and no network code; the payload lives in the private dependency, which was not retrieved. Twenty-six such packages under seventeen accounts were published between 2026-07-28 and 2026-10-09.\n\n---\n_-= Per source details.

No lifecycle scripts fetching or executing remote content were observed, no reads of installer credential paths (~/.aws, ~/.ssh, ~/.npmrc, browser profiles) or environment scraping, no hardcoded exfiltration endpoints, no obfuscated payloads, and no silent-relay of caller-supplied data. Behavior is consistent with a small Tailwind CSS animation utility package.\n","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-10-19T00:00:00+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-29T14:45:06.5463427+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"animate-tailwind-kit","ranges":[],"versions":["3.0.1","3.0.4"],"rawVersionEvidence":null}],"metrics":[],"references":["https://osv.dev/vulnerability/MAL-2026-17665","https://osv.dev/vulnerability/MAL-2026-17666","https://osv.dev/vulnerability/MAL-2026-17667","https://pkgwarden.com/incidents/fake-interview-tailwind-plugins-npm-october-2026/","https://www.npmjs.com/package/animate-tailwind-kit/v/3.0.1","https://www.npmjs.com/package/animate-tailwind-kit/v/3.0.4"],"sourceUrl":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/MAL-2026-18065","license":"OSV · upstream source license applies","key":"osv:MAL-2026-18065","identifiers":["MAL-2026-18065"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
