Which versions of tailwindcss-merge are malicious?

Every published version of tailwindcss-merge on npm is considered malicious. Remove the package entirely.

How do I remediate tailwindcss-merge if I installed it?

Remove tailwindcss-merge 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 tailwindcss-merge part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — tailwindcss-merge is associated with the GHSA-m2xh-rw7p-69rx 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 tailwindcss-merge 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 tailwindcss-merge and packages like it before any post-install script runs.
