Uploading npm snapshots results in java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "20221105141116"

Good morning,
after upgrading from 3.40 to 3.42, we are not able to upload npm artifacts (snapshots) to Nexus OSS hosted repo.
npm publish creates an artifact with version number as 1.0.0-test.20221105141116.1273f29, with the following:

  • version number (1.0.0)
  • environment (test)
  • timestamp (20221105141116)
  • short commit id (1273f29)

This is what we get after execution:

npm publish

Nexus OSS throws a java exception:

        at com.sonatype.nexus.repository.npm.internal.NpmFormatAttributesExtractor.getSearchNormalizedVersion(NpmFormatAttributesExtractor.java:297)

From what I see, it seems nexus has an internal format validator, expecting the version to be normalized, but I cannot find anything in documentation nor online.
Is there a way to find how to format version field?

Thank you very much.
