strapi-plugin-os-info-meeb322knpm
Advisory published Updated
strapi-plugin-os-info-meeb322k is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-16152) that opens a backdoor for remote access (malicious version 3.6.8). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in strapi-plugin-os-info-meeb322k (npm)
What this malware does
The package declares a postinstall script (postinstall.js) that runs automatically on npm install. The script collects host reconnaissance data — os.hostname(), os.platform(), kernel release, uid/gid, all network interface addresses, memory and CPU info — base64-encodes the JSON payload, and POSTs it over plain HTTP to the hardcoded out-of-band host vml73pdk3ft3t434ssjycv4khbn2btzi.oastify.com (a Burp Collaborator subdomain). The package name mimics strapi-plugin-os-info but has no legitimate plugin functionality; the only shipped behavior is the install-time beacon to an attacker-controlled OOB interaction endpoint.

Backdoor / remote accessFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for strapi-plugin-os-info-meeb322k (version 3.6.8).
If you installed it — respond
strapi-plugin-os-info-meeb322k 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.
Did it already run?
If strapi-plugin-os-info-meeb322k 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.
