Malicious code in strapi-plugin-persh-meeb (npm)

Details

--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_

## Source: amazon-inspector (67ce68eeb9a309b5fff512e24a1b8f4c12fb171c0752d6a04293a4e72c805088) strapi-plugin-persh-meeb@3.6.8 ships a postinstall.js (also declared as the package `main`) that runs automatically on `npm install`. The script spawns a Python one-liner that opens a TCP socket to the hardcoded bare IP 14.225.210.85 on port 443 (with:80 also referenced), duplicates the socket over stdio, and calls `pty.spawn("sh")`, giving the remote host an interactive shell on the installer's machine. Retries up to 5 times at 10-second intervals. Execution is gated by a hostname allowlist check (`os.hostname() === 'ubuntu-fc-uvm'`) and logs to `/tmp/postinstall-revshell.log`, consistent with a targeted red-team or victim-tuned implant. The destination is a bare IP unrelated to any Strapi or plugin-publisher infrastructure, and the package name resembles the Strapi plugin ecosystem.
