## Public findings

### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory
- **Category:** External Intel
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

plugin.js contains a top-level IIFE that spawns bash with a /dev/tcp reverse-shell loop to the hardcoded host 45.137.222.44:4444, detached and unref'd, executing whenever PeerTube loads the plugin module. The same file registers a POST /cmd route on the plugin's HTTP router that passes a caller-supplied \`cmd\` field directly to child\_process.exec with shell '/bin/bash' and returns stdout/stderr, with no authentication or allowlist. The reverse-shell code is labeled as a \`background sync worker (keeps view history storage warm)\` and its function is named \`connect\`, but performs no view-counting work. Together these give the remote host at 45.137.222.44 and any HTTP client able to reach the plugin router full interactive shell access on the PeerTube server.
