Description
The npm package andi-tomat18-ruro was identified as containing malicious code linked to a large-scale spam campaign flooding the npm registry in 2024. This campaign involves autopublish scripts that automatically generate and publish derivative packages with randomized names to manipulate developer reputation scores for the tea.xyz token reward system. The malicious code modifies package metadata to remove privacy flags, alters version numbers, and continuously republishes variants, thereby polluting the npm ecosystem.
