The result is silent transmission of the installer's machine identifier to an attacker-controlled OOB endpoint on every install, with errors swallowed so the install does not visibly fail. The package name and version resemble a scoped Strapi plugin but the shipped payload performs no plugin functionality — only the beacon.\n\n## Source: ossf-package-analysis (3dad65e846069addf34b62c3321a51ff2d43b04f6385c7edcbd8f3a2552e876b)\nThe OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'strapi-plugin-vinsoc-1109' @ 3.6.8 (npm) as malicious.\n\nIt is considered malicious because:\n\n- The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.\n","modified":"2026-09-11T18:45:05.085799022Z","published":"2026-09-11T07:51:51Z","database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"source":"ossf-package-analysis","versions":["3.6.8"],"import_time":"2026-09-11T08:24:21.278399507Z","modified_time":"2026-09-11T07:51:51Z","sha256":"3dad65e846069addf34b62c3321a51ff2d43b04f6385c7edcbd8f3a2552e876b"},{"versions":["3.6.8"],"id":"IN-MAL-2026-019994","import_time":"2026-09-11T18:21:31.848181578Z","modified_time":"2026-09-11T17:55:04Z","sha256":"4dbb0aa83cfffbdd408abb8f73299d5a47a0e9855c65b5940bb22112e0928d41","source":"amazon-inspector"}]},"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/strapi-plugin-vinsoc-1109/v/3.6.8"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"strapi-plugin-vinsoc-1109","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/strapi-plugin-vinsoc-1109"},"versions":["3.6.8"],"database_specific":{"cwes":[{"description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code","cweId":"CWE-506"}],"indicators":{"evidence_files":[{"path":"postinstall.js","sha256":"4edc34a17af8681465fa0cf95ad6543b56db5342533b358fb62ab0c834505ed5","tlsh":"ec1102ee91f5e33096e033d49b8f01666796d3a18b488ed6945ec2958de143f13334be"},{"sha256":"0f7bf9f3cbb4cf090171269762b812a410915e43463c2fe9e3d089cdb867d1b3","tlsh":"aff0a31c8915d53328c9db9e2833452d7a719d4b0456bf0c17d71184475c7b386bb64d","path":"package.json"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"strapi-plugin-vinsoc-1109-3.6.8.tgz","hashes":{"sha512_sri":"sha512-t6LvEKqhGoetCEZ61Z/9t5vA86+T3p0sOMIP4y2SUdCf+s8hfspn7XGnc2xlev2DIMV87N9IIhGaEhcDivFtnw==","sha1":"e6b41159840dcc5b4c3db294f9d6c1141a3a8af5"}}]},"source":"https://github.com/ossf/malicious-packages/blob/main/osv/malicious/npm/strapi-plugin-vinsoc-1109/MAL-2026-16126.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"],"type":"FINDER"},{"name":"OpenSSF: Package Analysis","contact":["https://github.com/ossf/package-analysis","https://openssf.slack.com/channels/package_analysis"],"type":"FINDER"}]}
