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, no credential or environment scraping, no silent-relay of caller data, no hardcoded attacker-controlled network destinations, and no obfuscated payloads were identified across the 8 scanned files. The package appears to be a small Tailwind CSS preset shim consistent with its stated purpose.\n","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-10-19T00:00:00+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-29T14:30:39.8547663+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"animatecss-tailwind-presets","ranges":[],"versions":["1.0.0","2.0.3"],"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-presets/v/1.0.0","https://www.npmjs.com/package/animatecss-tailwind-presets/v/2.0.3"],"sourceUrl":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/MAL-2026-18073","license":"OSV · upstream source license applies","key":"osv:MAL-2026-18073","identifiers":["MAL-2026-18073"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
