The following npm versions of tailwindcss-3d-styles are flagged malicious: 1.2.4. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate tailwindcss-3d-styles if I installed it?

Remove tailwindcss-3d-styles 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.

I already installed tailwindcss-3d-styles — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If tailwindcss-3d-styles was installed, its post-install payload may already have run. Removing the package does not undo that — check outbound connections and credential use from the install window onward.

Is tailwindcss-3d-styles part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — tailwindcss-3d-styles is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-019456 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find tailwindcss-3d-styles across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for tailwindcss-3d-styles (version 1.2.4).

What this malware does

The package's main entry point fetches a JavaScript file from http://23.27.245.100:3000/index.js over plain HTTP at require time, writes the response to./inout.js in the current working directory, and require()s the resulting file — causing arbitrary code from that host to execute in the Node process of any consumer importing this package. The remaining code is a copy of the legitimate tailwindcss-3d library (per the manifest's repository/homepage), and the published name tailwindcss-3d-styles differs from the upstream tailwindcss-3d, using the upstream library as cover for the appended dropper.
