What this malware does

Package presents itself as a date-formatting utility but performs credential theft against the installer through two channels. The postinstall script in package.json curls cloud instance-metadata endpoints (Alibaba 100.100.100.200, AWS 169.254.169.254, and Tencent Cloud) and a /data/ listing, writes them to /tmp, and POSTs the concatenated contents to an attacker-controlled OAST collector at pdxkwzizhzzdpzpgcieqk6d1v7ynqsgfo.oast.fun/metadata — harvesting cloud IAM/instance credentials from any cloud VM or CI runner that installs the package. Separately, index.js (the package main) enumerates ~/.ssh on require, packages the username, platform, and key filenames as JSON, and POSTs the payload over HTTPS to the hardcoded remote host 124.221.154.135:443/post, so importing the module leaks SSH key metadata to a fixed attacker endpoint. The advertised formatDate functionality is a stub unrelated to the exfiltration paths.

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for simple-date-formatter-new-11 (version 1.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging simple-date-formatter-new-11 across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    simple-date-formatter-new-11 is built to steal secrets, so assume every credential the build or runtime could read is compromised. Remove it from your project and lockfile, then rotate ALL exposed secrets — npm/registry tokens, cloud keys, CI/CD secrets, SSH keys, and any .env values — from a known-clean machine. Audit logs for unauthorized use of those credentials.

  3. Did it already run?

    If simple-date-formatter-new-11 was ever installed, its post-install/runtime payload may have already executed. O3's L7 egress monitoring and runtime eBPF sensors detect the credential exfiltration or command-and-control callback after install and block the malicious outbound channel, so you catch and contain the actual compromise — not just the presence of the package.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks simple-date-formatter-new-11 before install through its supply-chain scanner, and if it has already run, detects and severs the exfiltration or C2 callback at runtime through L7 egress monitoring and eBPF.
