Malicious code in strapi-plugin-rs-meeb322k (npm)

Details

**Severity:** Critical

**Affected versions:** `= 3.6.8`

## Source: amazon-inspector (6293e711bb544c63fcc29178febb4100cee80f9cbd1060b3c3173445419a172c)
postinstall.js runs unconditionally during `npm install` via scripts.postinstall and executes a bash reverse shell that redirects an interactive shell's stdio to a TCP socket at the hardcoded external address 14.225.210.85:443, giving that remote endpoint arbitrary command execution on the installer's host. The package description self-labels as a reverse-shell payload for Strapi, and the name mimics the strapi-plugin-* namespace.
