Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

tailwindcss-keyframe-kit (3.0.0, 3.0.1, 3.0.2) 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 hackson306623 on 2026-09-28. src/generators/motion-base.js:5 requires the private scoped package @aaron205whitmore/postcss-animate-utils, which is not readable on the public registry and resolves only with the npm token committed in the lure repository's web/.npmrc, so the code it delivers runs when tailwind.config.js loads the plugin and the dev server starts. 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. --- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_

# Patch Next advisory brief: GHSA-282x-w96h-wv7f

Advisory: Malicious code in tailwindcss-keyframe-kit (npm)
IDs: GHSA-282x-w96h-wv7f
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/mal-2026-18088 (revision 2, source checked 31 Oct 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-keyframe-kit: affected every version

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `npm ls tailwindcss-keyframe-kit --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-keyframe-kit.
- 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.

## Sources
- Verified: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/MAL-2026-18088 (OSV record MAL-2026-18088 lists affected ranges: npm tailwindcss-keyframe-kit >=0)
