Advisory published Updated

Malicious code in strapi-plugin-ccsuc-meeb (npm)
What this malware does
The package's postinstall lifecycle script (postinstall.js, wired via scripts.postinstall in package.json) checks the installer's hostname against a hardcoded allowlist value ('ubuntu-fc-uvm') and, on match, spawns /bin/bash with a reverse-shell one-liner opening an interactive TCP shell to 14.225.210.85:80. The script uses child_process.exec, includes retry logic and a 60-second timeout, and runs automatically on npm install. The hostname gate indicates a targeted-dropper shape aimed at specific installer environments; on matching hosts the operator obtains full interactive command execution on the installer's machine.

Malicious packageFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for strapi-plugin-ccsuc-meeb (version 3.6.8).
If you installed it — respond
Remove strapi-plugin-ccsuc-meeb from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.
Did it already run?
If strapi-plugin-ccsuc-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.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks strapi-plugin-ccsuc-meeb-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the malicious outbound activity and severs the channel.
