The result is silent transmission of the installer's machine identifier to an attacker-controlled OOB endpoint on every install, with errors swallowed so the install does not visibly fail. The package name and version resemble a scoped Strapi plugin but the shipped payload performs no plugin functionality — only the beacon.\n\n## Source: ossf-package-analysis (3dad65e846069addf34b62c3321a51ff2d43b04f6385c7edcbd8f3a2552e876b)\nThe OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified 'strapi-plugin-vinsoc-1109' @ 3.6.8 (npm) as malicious.\n\nIt is considered malicious because:\n\n- The package communicates with a domain associated with malicious activity.\n",
