Which versions of typography-stylecss are malicious?

The following npm versions of typography-stylecss are flagged malicious: 0.7.4. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate typography-stylecss if I installed it?

typography-stylecss establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.

I already installed typography-stylecss — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If typography-stylecss 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 typography-stylecss part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — typography-stylecss is associated with the IN-MAL-2026-002713 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 typography-stylecss across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for typography-stylecss (version 0.7.4).

What this malware does

The package impersonates the legitimate @tailwindcss/typography plugin: README, src/index.js, src/utils.js, and src/styles.js are copied verbatim from the Tailwind Labs plugin, and peerDependencies lists tailwindcss to reinforce the masquerade, but the package is published under the unrelated name typography-stylecss. Appended to src/index.js after the legitimate module.exports = plugin.withOptions(...) is an obfuscator.io-style payload (hex-named identifiers _0x168f6b, _0x3fc27f, etc., with a rotated string table _0x5975). Decoded string-table fragments include platform branching ('win32', 'windows', 'agent-linux-') and a URL path template /agents/<deploymentHash> built against a base URL read from a __SSTAR_API_BASE global, consistent with downloading a platform-specific agent binary and executing it. Because this code sits at module top level, it fires on require('typography-stylecss') / import 'typography-stylecss' — exactly the usage the cloned README instructs developers to add to their tailwind.config.js. Any build or dev server that loads the Tailwind config will trigger the dropper, which fetches and runs an attacker-controlled native binary on the installer's machine.
