If it is present, remove it, regenerate the lockfile with the project's package manager, and replace whatever it was used for.\n3. List any CI runners, developer machines or containers that installed it, so their secrets can be rotated.\n4.

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.\n\nThe package's shipped contents show no install-time or import-time behavior that would harm the installer. No lifecycle scripts fetching or executing remote content were observed, no reads of installer credential paths (~/.aws, ~/.ssh, ~/.npmrc, browser stores), no environment-variable scraping, no hardcoded attacker-controlled network destinations, no obfuscated payloads, and no persistence or backdoor mechanisms. The package appears to be a benign Tailwind/Animate.css-related utility with no supply-chain attack surface identified in this version.","ecosystems":["npm"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":null,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":null,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":null,"nuclei":null,"refs":[],"tier":null},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Malicious code in animatecss-tailwind-graphic (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-18069","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"malicious","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":null,"products":[],"type":null,"year":"2026"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":null,"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":[],"introduced":[],"last_affected":[],"package":"animatecss-tailwind-graphic","purl":"pkg:npm/animatecss-tailwind-graphic","source":"MAL-2026-18069"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-10-19","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"Apache-2.0","name":"OpenSSF Malicious Packages","prefix":"MAL"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":null,"updated":null,"vendors":null},"summary":null,"url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-18069/"}
