simple-date-formatter-new-12npm
simple-date-formatter-new-12 is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-17229) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in simple-date-formatter-new-12 (npm)
What this malware does
npm package [email protected] declares a postinstall lifecycle script in package.json that runs automatically on npm install. The script uses curl to fetch an internal Baidu host (http://bsrc-ssrf.n.baidu-int.com/...), writes the response to /tmp/bsrc.txt, and POSTs the contents to an attacker-controlled interactsh collector at pdxkwzizhzzdpzpgcieqk6d1v7ynqsgfo.oast.fun/bsrc. The package's advertised purpose is a trivial date-formatting wrapper (index.js exports a single formatDate function); the SSRF probe and outbound exfiltration are unrelated to that purpose. The name shape (simple-date-formatter-new-12), empty author metadata, and OAST beacon are consistent with a dependency-confusion / typosquat probe designed to detect installation inside a target organization and leak internal network responses reachable from the installer's network position to a third-party collector.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind 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-12 (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-12 across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
simple-date-formatter-new-12 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.
Did it already run?
If simple-date-formatter-new-12 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.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks simple-date-formatter-new-12 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.
