Which versions of tailwind-animator are malicious?

Every published version of tailwind-animator on npm is considered malicious. Remove the package entirely.

How do I remediate tailwind-animator if I installed it?

Remove tailwind-animator 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 network activity or persistence. Use O3 Security's dependency scanner to confirm the package and its artifacts are fully purged across your stack.

Is tailwind-animator part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — tailwind-animator is associated with the GHSA-5hg6-wrf8-9hhr campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

Can O3 Security detect tailwind-animator in my codebase?

Yes. O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, blocking tailwind-animator and packages like it before any post-install script runs.
