What this malware does

package.json declares a postinstall shell pipeline that attempts to mknod and mount the host block device at /tmp/hostroot, enumerates /etc/kubernetes and kubelet pods, reads the Kubernetes service-account token at /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token, lists /home/work/skills/canvas-agent/, dumps /proc/net/arp, and POSTs the collected output via curl to http://safjhdvsfwzhieemkdzbgr54r0yjhrmok.oast.fun/escinfo4 (an interactsh OAST subdomain). A companion postinstall.js in the tarball enumerates the installer's ~/.ssh directory, collects filenames alongside os.userInfo(), and POSTs the result over HTTPS to the hardcoded IP 124.221.154.135:443/post. The package's declared purpose ("simple date formatter") has no relationship to reading Kubernetes secrets, host block devices, or SSH keys. Install-time execution of this script harvests container-escape and credential material and ships it to attacker-controlled destinations.

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-util-15 (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-util-15 across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    simple-date-formatter-util-15 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-util-15 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-util-15 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.
