Malicious code in animatecss-tailwind-luminary (npm)

Details

animatecss-tailwind-luminary (2.0.6, 2.0.7) 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 cypherbyte on 2026-09-28. src/motion.js:5 requires the private scoped package @jasperquinn/postcss-motion-helpers, 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.

The package contents show no install-time or import-time behavior that would harm an installer. No lifecycle scripts fetch or execute remote code, no credential paths (~/.aws, ~/.ssh, ~/.npmrc, browser profiles) are read, no environment scraping is present, and no outbound network calls to attacker-controlled destinations are observed. No obfuscated code, no hardcoded C2 endpoints, and no dropper/backdoor patterns are present in the shipped files.
