Description
The npm package 'xrblocks-remote-control' version 22.0.0 contains malicious code that sends the installer's project directory name and a timestamp to a hardcoded external URL. The package does not provide any legitimate functionality and appears to be a dependency confusion or typosquatting attempt targeting the 'xrblocks' namespace. This results in unauthorized data exfiltration during package installation or invocation.
