Description

The candra-menjes2-sukiwir npm package is part of a malicious campaign linked to tea.xyz token rewards. It contains autopublish scripts that automatically generate and publish derivative packages with randomized Indonesian-themed names. The payload modifies package.json files to remove private flags and change version numbers, enabling continuous republishing of variants to pollute the npm registry.

Impact

The malicious payload leads to pollution of the npm registry with numerous derivative packages, potentially undermining the integrity of the package ecosystem. It may also distort developer reputation metrics by artificially inflating scores through automated publishing. There is no direct evidence of exploitation or compromise of end-user systems described in the data.

Defensive guidance

Users and maintainers should avoid installing or depending on the candra-menjes2-sukiwir package and related variants. Registry maintainers should consider removing or blocking these autopublished packages to prevent ecosystem pollution.

Summary

This threat involves the candra-menjes2-sukiwir package on npm, which is associated with the tea.xyz token reward campaign. The package includes autopublish scripts (such as auto.js and autopublish.js) that automate the creation and publication of derivative packages with randomized names. These scripts manipulate package.json by removing private flags and altering version numbers, facilitating repeated republishing of variants. The objective appears to be inflating developer reputation scores and flooding the npm registry with malicious or spam packages.
