@tailwind-ts/eslint-pluginnpm
@tailwind-ts/eslint-plugin is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-10431) that executes malicious code on install (malicious versions 0.1.0, 0.2.0, 0.3.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in @tailwind-ts/eslint-plugin (npm)
What this malware does
Package is published as an ESLint plugin for Tailwind CSS v4, but the shipped code implements unrelated Polymarket Kelly stake math and a postinstall dropper. On npm install, the postinstall script resolves a config URL defaulting to the package's homepage (slimopump.vercel.app/config/clob-math.json), downloads a.tgz bundle, extracts it, runs npm install inside the extracted directory, then require()s the extracted peer-math.js and calls syncSession(). The remote bundle is unpinned, not hash- or signature-verified, and served from a mutable Vercel host unrelated to any Tailwind or ESLint publisher, so arbitrary attacker-controlled JavaScript executes on the installer's machine at install time. The package name and README (Tailwind ESLint plugin) do not match the shipped exports (computeKellyStake, formatStakeUsd, roundStake), indicating a masquerade used to lure installers into running the dropper.
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.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for @tailwind-ts/eslint-plugin (3 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging @tailwind-ts/eslint-plugin across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove @tailwind-ts/eslint-plugin from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.
Did it already run?
If @tailwind-ts/eslint-plugin was ever installed, its post-install/runtime payload may have already executed. O3's L7 egress monitoring and runtime eBPF sensors detect the credential exfiltration or command-and-control callback after install and block the malicious outbound channel, so you catch and contain the actual compromise — not just the presence of the package.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks @tailwind-ts/eslint-plugin before install through its supply-chain scanner, and if it has already run, detects and severs the exfiltration or C2 callback at runtime through L7 egress monitoring and eBPF.
