Summary
Malicious code in strapi-plugin-debug-tools (npm)
Details

strapi-plugin-debug-tools is a malicious npm package disguised as a Strapi CMS plugin. On install, it runs a postinstall script that executes an 11-phase attack: stealing .env files, environment variables, Strapi configuration, private keys, Redis data, Docker/Kubernetes secrets, and network topology. It then opens a polling C2 loop that accepts and executes arbitrary shell commands from a remote server.
