Description
The npm package simple-date-formatter-new-10 version 1.0.0 contains malicious code that executes during installation. It opens a reverse shell to a remote attacker and exfiltrates SSH keys and user information to a command and control server. The advertised date-formatting functionality is a cover for these attack payloads.
