Execution is gated by an os.hostname() check against \u0027ubuntu-fc-uvm\u0027, with self-labeled log strings such as \u0027[+] Starting reverse shell\u0027 and \u0027[+] proceeding with exploit\u0027 \u2014 a targeting/evasion pattern indicative of an intentional attack rather than a demo. The package name resembles the legitimate Strapi plugin ecosystem, but the shipped install-time payload has no legitimate purpose.\n",
