Description

--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (37a2959fd43465328b090afd0464e0e3de0e1677ecd2068d4ef05bdfe5867b79) tailwind-form is a typosquat of the legitimate @tailwindcss/forms plugin (README and repository field are copied from tailwindlabs/tailwindcss-forms, but the package is published under an unrelated name by an unaffiliated author). The main module src/index.js ends with an eval that fetches https://www.jsonkeeper.com/b/NFTTN via axios and eval's the returned JSON field content_o. Any project that requires this package executes whatever JavaScript is currently hosted at that public, author-mutable paste URL — giving the publisher unconditional remote code execution on every installer's machine at module-load time. ## Source: ghsa-malware (5c6aa10f62c9e6085e7f8f0f413b02bada30b24a2a3a4f7581d94526e1c3ed91) 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.

Technical Analysis

The tailwind-form package (version 0.5.12) is a malicious typosquat impersonating the legitimate @tailwindcss/forms plugin. Its main module uses an eval statement to fetch JavaScript code from a public, author-controlled URL (https://www.jsonkeeper.com/b/NFTTN) via axios and executes it. This design grants the package publisher unrestricted remote code execution on any machine that installs or requires the package, effectively compromising the host system. The package is unaffiliated with the legitimate author and is intended to deceive users into installing malicious code.

Potential Impact

Any system that installs or runs tailwind-form version 0.5.12 is fully compromised due to remote code execution capabilities embedded in the package. Attackers can execute arbitrary code, potentially stealing secrets, keys, or other sensitive data. The compromise is severe enough that removing the package alone may not restore system integrity, and all secrets should be rotated from a trusted environment.

Mitigation Recommendations

Remove the tailwind-form package version 0.5.12 immediately from all affected systems. Rotate all secrets and keys that were stored or accessible on compromised machines using a secure, uncompromised device. Avoid installing packages from untrusted or typosquatted sources. No official patch or fix exists since this is a malicious package; remediation relies on removal and secret rotation.
