Description

The ade-mangut76-sumpek npm package is part of a malicious campaign linked to the tea.xyz token reward scheme. It contains autopublish scripts that automatically generate and publish numerous derivative packages with randomized names, aiming to inflate developer reputation scores for token rewards. The payload modifies package.json files by removing private flags, altering version numbers, and generating Indonesian-themed or English package names. This activity results in continuous republishing of variants, polluting the npm registry.

Impact

The malicious package manipulates npm package metadata and continuously republishes variants, polluting the npm registry. This can degrade the quality and trustworthiness of the npm ecosystem, potentially misleading developers and automated systems that rely on package metadata and reputation scores. There is no indication of direct exploitation or code execution beyond the registry pollution and reputation manipulation.

Defensive guidance

Mitigation involves avoiding use of the affected package and related variants. Registry maintainers and security teams should monitor for and remove such malicious packages to maintain ecosystem integrity. Developers should verify package provenance and avoid packages linked to the tea.xyz token reward campaign.

Summary

This threat involves the ade-mangut76-sumpek npm package, which is associated with the tea.xyz token reward campaign that flooded the npm ecosystem. The package includes autopublish scripts (such as auto.js and autopublish.js variants) that automate the creation and publication of derivative packages with randomized names. These scripts modify package.json files to remove private flags and change version numbers, enabling repeated publication of variants. The goal is to artificially inflate developer reputation scores to gain tea protocol token rewards, causing registry pollution and potential trust issues in the npm ecosystem.
