Description

The npm package budi-mieayam11-sukiwir is part of a large-scale malicious campaign linked to tea.xyz token rewards. It contains malicious autopublish scripts that automatically generate and publish numerous derivative packages with randomized Indonesian-themed names. These scripts modify package.json files to remove private flags and alter version numbers, enabling continuous republishing of variants. This activity pollutes the npm registry and inflates developer reputation scores fraudulently.

Impact

The malicious package compromises the integrity of the npm registry by flooding it with spam packages that are automatically generated and republished. This undermines trust in the npm ecosystem and can mislead users and automated systems relying on package metadata and reputation. It also facilitates fraudulent inflation of developer reputation scores tied to the tea.xyz token reward system.

Defensive guidance

Users and organizations should avoid using the budi-mieayam11-sukiwir package and related derivative packages. Registry maintainers and security teams should monitor for and remove such spam packages to maintain ecosystem integrity. Since this is a malicious package rather than a vulnerability in software, remediation involves blocking or removing the package rather than patching.

Summary

The package budi-mieayam11-sukiwir was identified by Amazon Inspector as containing malicious code associated with the tea.xyz token reward campaign. This campaign flooded the npm registry with over 15,000 spam packages in 2024. The malicious payload includes autopublish scripts (auto.js, autopublish.js, autopublish2.js, autopublish3.js) that automate the creation and publication of derivative packages with randomized names. The scripts manipulate package.json by removing private flags and changing version numbers to enable repeated republishing, thereby polluting the npm ecosystem and artificially inflating developer reputation scores for token rewards.
