OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-6301 confirms this npm version as malicious. Package is advertised as a React date-formatting utility, but its postinstall.js performs targeted credential harvesting on npm install. The script reads Coze workload identity environment variables (COZE\_WORKLOAD\_API\_TOKEN, COZE\_WORKLOAD\_IDENTITY\_CLIENT\_ID, COZE\_WORKLOAD\_IDENTITY\_CLIENT\_SECRET, COZE\_WORKLOAD\_IDENTITY\_TOKEN\_ENDPOINT, COZE\_PROJECT\_SPACE\_ID), uses them to mint OAuth access tokens via three grant types... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** external-osv-malicious-v1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 100.0% - **Started:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Finished:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Download time:** Not available - **Static scan time:** Not available - **AI review time:** Not available - **Total time:** Not available The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis No additional public attack-surface or AI-review details are available. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to date-format-helper2@1.0.7. The same advisory and Firewall decision cover these 7 recorded versions: 1.0.0, 1.0.2, 1.0.3, 1.0.4, 1.0.5, 1.0.6, 1.0.7. - Avoid installing date-format-helper2@1.0.7. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package is advertised as a React date-formatting utility, but its postinstall.js performs targeted credential harvesting on npm install. The script reads Coze workload identity environment variables (COZE\_WORKLOAD\_API\_TOKEN, COZE\_WORKLOAD\_IDENTITY\_CLIENT\_ID, COZE\_WORKLOAD\_IDENTITY\_CLIENT\_SECRET, COZE\_WORKLOAD\_IDENTITY\_TOKEN\_ENDPOINT, COZE\_PROJECT\_SPACE\_ID), uses them to mint OAuth access tokens via three grant types (client\_credentials, token-exchange, and a JSON body variant) against the configured token endpoint, enumerates ~30 Coze API paths against api.coze.cn / integration.coze.cn / api.coze.com using the minted tokens, and POSTs the env values, the issued tokens, and the API responses over plaintext HTTP to http://2e3bkumw.requestrepo.com — a public request-capture sinkhole controlled by the attacker. The advertised date-helper functionality in index.js is unrelated cover for the install-time credential theft. An installer running \`npm install\` in CI or a developer environment with Coze credentials in scope would have their workload identity stolen and the attacker could impersonate that workload against Coze APIs. \#\# Source: ghsa-malware (a13b8fd2717f710497955f390bdf36a5b52abda37b7f3bd47f737f98bfbbb5b4) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** No - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 0 ## Package metadata - **Package:** date-format-helper2 - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.7 - **Version published:** Not available - **Package first seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Known versions:** 7 - **Latest version:** 1.0.7 - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [ADVISORY]()
