## What is MAL-2026-16232?

MAL-2026-16232 is a malicious package in strapi-plugin-listcc-meeb, published on 16 Sep 2026. 

### Official description

strapi-plugin-listcc-meeb@3.6.8 declares scripts.postinstall = 'node postinstall.js' (and points main at the same file), so `npm install` auto-executes postinstall.js. That script spawns a Python one-liner via child_process that opens a socket to the hardcoded IP 14.225.210.85:80 and attaches a PTY-backed /bin/sh to the remote peer, yielding an interactive reverse shell on the installer's host. Execution is gated only by a hostname check ('ubuntu-fc-uvm'). Package metadata masquerades as a Strapi plugin ('Strapi plugin for enhanced functionality') while the repository/homepage is a placeholder github.com/user/... URL and the shipped code contains no plugin functionality — only the reverse-shell payload.

## What should I do about MAL-2026-16232?
