Source: amazon-inspector (1eab685b70dc7394ba9eade13925f6da52267f61edcf8ba204bcf9ac3bd4c7bc) The package publishes under the name tailwindcss-form-utils while pointing its repository field at https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss-forms and mirroring that project's README verbatim, positioning itself as a lookalike of the first-party Tailwind Labs forms plugin. Its main entrypoint src/index.js is heavily obfuscated (obfuscator.io string-array with rotation, hex identifier renaming, 303 encoded string entries) and, once decoded, imports node:http, node:https, node:zlib, node:url and node:child_process spawn. It hard-codes an Ethereum sender address 0xa322E5f3D311D3080e9aDC2490Ef6f0121063e1a and queries Ethereum RPC endpoints (1rpc.io/eth, *.publicnode.com, eth.drpc.org) plus a blockscout/etherscan-style txlist indexer to retrieve transaction payloads authored by that address, reconstructs JavaScript source from the…

# Patch Next advisory brief: GHSA-p9jh-6rpw-jrjq

Advisory: Malicious code in tailwindcss-form-utils (npm)
IDs: GHSA-p9jh-6rpw-jrjq
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/mal-2026-16263 (revision 1, source checked 4 Nov 2026, 06:00 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Unrated
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor response not established. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- npm tailwindcss-form-utils: affected every version

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `npm ls tailwindcss-form-utils --all`: lists every installed copy and version, including transitive ones. Run in the project root after `npm ci`.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on tailwindcss-form-utils.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
