Description
The npm package tailwindcss-form-utils is a malicious lookalike of the legitimate Tailwind Labs forms plugin. It contains heavily obfuscated code that fetches and executes JavaScript payloads from an attacker-controlled Ethereum blockchain address, enabling remote code execution. This behavior is unrelated to any legitimate Tailwind CSS plugin functionality.
