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

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.
