MAL-2026-12223 Malicious code in tailwindcss-form-components (npm)

index.js exposes getPlugin(), which performs an HTTP GET to http://46.183.25.232:45000/icons/106, parses the JSON response, and passes the credits field to new Function(...) with require, module, process, and Buffer injected — giving the remote endpoint full Node.js execution privileges on the consumer's host. The destination URL is assembled from split string fragments (protocol/separator/domain/path) and framed with icon/CDN-style naming (iconDomain, bearrtoken: 'logo', path segment icons/), while a separate setDefaultModule function references a benign-looking cdnjs/font-awesome URL as a decoy. The package name typosquats the tailwindcss ecosystem, and declared dependencies include @primno/dpapi, better-sqlite3, and node-machine-id — libraries associated with Windows credential/DPAPI access, browser SQLite database reads, and host fingerprinting. The transport is plain HTTP to a bare IP with no integrity check, so the executed payload is attacker-controlled and mutable.

Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
