Description
The npm package candra-esdoger51-sluey is associated with a malicious campaign linked to tea.xyz token rewards. It contains autopublish scripts that automatically generate and publish derivative packages with randomized names to manipulate developer reputation scores. The payload modifies package.json files to remove private flags, alter version numbers, and create numerous republished variants, polluting the npm registry.
