Description

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

Impact

The malicious package manipulates the npm ecosystem by artificially inflating developer reputation scores through automated publishing of derivative packages. It pollutes the npm registry with numerous variants, potentially degrading the quality and trustworthiness of the package repository. There is no direct indication of exploitation in the wild or further compromise beyond reputation inflation and registry pollution.

Defensive guidance

Users and maintainers should avoid installing or depending on packages linked to this campaign. Registry maintainers should consider removing or blocking these autopublished variants to maintain repository integrity.

Summary

This threat involves the 'anabuy-inznu-ninni' npm package, which is associated with the tea.xyz token reward campaign. The package includes autopublish scripts (e.g., auto.js, autopublish.js) that automate the creation and publication of derivative packages with randomized names. The malicious code modifies package.json by removing private flags and changing version numbers, enabling repeated publication of variants. This activity inflates developer reputation scores fraudulently and causes registry pollution by flooding npm with numerous derivative packages.
