Description
The npm package bayu-takokak65-sluey is part of a large-scale malicious campaign involving over 15,000 spam packages flooding the npm registry in 2024. These packages contain autopublish scripts that automatically generate and publish derivative packages with randomized Indonesian-themed names. The malicious code modifies package.json files to remove private flags and change version numbers, enabling continuous republishing of variants. This activity aims to inflate developer reputation scores for the tea.xyz token reward system and pollutes the npm ecosystem.
