strapi-plugin-conresh-meebnpm
Advisory published Updated
strapi-plugin-conresh-meeb is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-16229) that typosquats a legitimate package to trick installs (malicious version 3.6.8). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in strapi-plugin-conresh-meeb (npm)
What this malware does
The package declares a postinstall lifecycle hook ("postinstall": "node postinstall.js") that executes on every npm install. postinstall.js invokes child_process.exec with a bash reverse-shell command connecting the installer's host to the hardcoded remote endpoint 14.225.210.85:80 via /dev/tcp, redirecting stdio to give the remote party an interactive shell on the installer's machine. Execution is gated by a hostname allowlist (matching 'ubuntu-fc-uvm'), and a retry loop plus a log file at /tmp/postinstall-revshell.log indicate a persistent, targeted deployment. The plugin name mimics the Strapi plugin namespace but ships no plugin functionality relevant to that framing.

TyposquatFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for strapi-plugin-conresh-meeb (version 3.6.8).
If you installed it — respond
strapi-plugin-conresh-meeb is a typosquat — you almost certainly intended a legitimately-named package. Remove strapi-plugin-conresh-meeb, install the correct package, and rotate any secrets exposed during the install since post-install scripts may have already run.
Did it already run?
If strapi-plugin-conresh-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-conresh-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.
