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 stores), no environment-variable scraping, no hardcoded attacker-controlled network destinations, no obfuscated payloads, and no persistence or backdoor mechanisms. The package appears to be a benign Tailwind/Animate.css-related utility with no supply-chain attack surface identified in this version.\n","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-10-19T00:00:00+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-29T14:45:06.086395+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"animatecss-tailwind-graphic","ranges":[],"versions":["2.0.6"],"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/animatecss-tailwind-graphic/v/2.0.6"],"sourceUrl":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/MAL-2026-18069","license":"OSV · upstream source license applies","key":"osv:MAL-2026-18069","identifiers":["MAL-2026-18069"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
