Malicious code in strapi-plugin-honey-meeb (npm)
Exploitation and risk
Source statusCISA KEV lists vulnerabilities known to be exploited. FIRST EPSS estimates the likelihood of exploitation in the next 30 days. An unavailable score does not mean zero risk.
Which CVEs have scores here?
This view includes predictions for CVE identifiers explicitly listed in public NuGet advisories. Microsoft release pages have their own prediction coverage. Check source status for the scope and latest checks.
No exploitation or prediction data is available here for these CVEs. This does not mean they are safe or unlikely to be exploited.

Published--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (752c0a1146068824e355a38b25add15f092d7cea6f846c143b5b2d2210de6766) The package's postinstall lifecycle script (postinstall.js) spawns a Python-based reverse shell that opens a TCP socket to the hardcoded IP 14.225.210.85:80, dup2's stdin/stdout/stderr onto the socket, and calls pty.spawn('sh'), yielding an interactive remote shell on the installer's host at npm install time. Execution is gated by an os.hostname() check against 'ubuntu-fc-uvm', with self-labeled log strings such as '[+] Starting reverse shell' and '[+] proceeding with exploit' — a targeting/evasion pattern indicative of an intentional attack rather than a demo. The package name resembles the legitimate Strapi plugin ecosystem, but the shipped install-time payload has no legitimate purpose.
