MAL-2026-14037 Malicious code in tailwind-plugin-kit (npm)

The package presents itself as a Tailwind CSS plugin toolkit but its exported getPlugin function performs an HTTPS request to a hardcoded bare-IP endpoint (31.97.137.157:45000/icons/109) and passes the response's data.credits field to new Function(...) with a full Node.js execution context (require, module, exports, process, Buffer, globalThis, Promise). Any project following the README instructions and registering the package as a Tailwind plugin (plugins: [toolkit]) triggers execution of arbitrary attacker-controlled JavaScript on the developer/build machine. The destination URL is assembled by concatenating separate protocol/domain/path fragments, and the file also contains an unused setDefaultModule referencing well-known CDN hostnames (cloudflare, fastly, akamai, cloudfront) as a decoy — the actual network destination is the bare IP, not any CDN. Declared dependencies (@primno/dpapi, better-sqlite3, node-machine-id) are consistent with a second-stage infostealer payload targeting browser credential stores and machine identifiers on the loaded host.
