Description
The npm package arif-tiwul12-breki contains malicious code linked to a large-scale spam campaign flooding the npm registry with over 15,000 packages. These packages include autopublish scripts that automatically generate and publish derivative packages with randomized names. The malicious payload modifies package metadata to remove private flags, alter version numbers, and create Indonesian-themed package names, continuously republishing variants to inflate developer reputation scores for the tea protocol token rewards.
