mouse5212-super-formatter npm Malware Steals Claude Files
A malicious npm package named 'mouse5212-super-formatter' was discovered exfiltrating files from Anthropic's Claude AI user directory by authenticating to a threat actor-controlled GitHub repository. The package disguised itself as a legitimate archive utility while silently uploading all local workspace files during the postinstall phase. Notably, the attacker's poor operational security — including a leaked GitHub token — suggests AI-generated malware with minimal human oversight, pointing to a growing trend of low-skill threat actors leveraging AI to produce supply chain malware.
