The script spawns a Python one-liner that opens a TCP socket to the hardcoded bare IP 14.225.210.85 on port 443 (with:80 also referenced), duplicates the socket over stdio, and calls `pty.spawn(\"sh\")`, giving the remote host an interactive shell on the installer's machine. Retries up to 5 times at 10-second intervals. Execution is gated by a hostname allowlist check (`os.hostname() === 'ubuntu-fc-uvm'`) and logs to `/tmp/postinstall-revshell.log`, consistent with a targeted red-team or victim-tuned implant. The destination is a bare IP unrelated to any Strapi or plugin-publisher infrastructure, and the package name resembles the Strapi plugin ecosystem.\n","affected":[{"package":{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"strapi-plugin-persh-meeb"},"versions":["3.6.8"],"database_specific":{"cwes":[{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"}],"indicators":{"evidence_files":[{"path":"postinstall.js","sha256":"d5784f6350da01e22b6304bf5f9c8d2828630c8663324aba286aea6cd9ba0994","tlsh":"bb5131a905bf273a62338ce9521b8093e61701023912d57879dc8b53bfd5d5eca31bfa"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"strapi-plugin-persh-meeb-3.6.8.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"3dc73a6fe2f530e2daca036bc3a60a70764049f9","sha512_sri":"sha512-JPUE5o3PaQU5Ad8r4NuvDxMUpkEhPeriHvgo+emfn4ZinA/qWdQldzD2gMG9qOxZNmVSJiCVqu/wqvHGx7oKIg=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/strapi-plugin-persh-meeb/v/3.6.8"}],"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","type":"FINDER","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"]}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-020101","import_time":"2026-09-16T14:19:37.987508818Z","modified_time":"2026-09-16T13:58:49Z","sha256":"67ce68eeb9a309b5fff512e24a1b8f4c12fb171c0752d6a04293a4e72c805088","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["3.6.8"]}]}}
