Description

The npm package cindy-lengko23-tititugel contains malicious code linked to a large-scale spam campaign flooding the npm registry in 2024. This campaign uses autopublish scripts to generate and publish numerous derivative packages with randomized Indonesian-themed names. The malicious payload manipulates package metadata to remove privacy flags and increment version numbers, enabling continuous republishing of variants. The intent is to inflate developer reputation scores for the tea.xyz token reward system by polluting the npm ecosystem with spam packages.

Impact

The malicious package pollutes the npm registry with spam packages, potentially degrading the quality and trustworthiness of the npm ecosystem. It manipulates package metadata to bypass privacy controls and continuously republish variants, which can mislead reputation systems tied to the tea.xyz token rewards. There is no indication of direct exploitation or compromise of user systems, but the integrity of the npm package ecosystem and associated reputation mechanisms is undermined.

Defensive guidance

The recommended mitigation is to avoid installing or using the cindy-lengko23-tititugel package and related variants. Registry maintainers and security teams should monitor and remove such spam packages from npm to preserve ecosystem integrity. Users should verify package authenticity and provenance before installation.

Summary

The cindy-lengko23-tititugel npm package is part of a widespread malicious campaign associated with tea.xyz token rewards. It includes autopublish scripts (auto.js, autopublish.js, autopublish2.js, autopublish3.js) that automatically create and publish derivative packages with randomized names. The malicious code modifies package.json files by removing private flags and altering version numbers to facilitate repeated republishing. This behavior results in the flooding of the npm registry with thousands of spam packages designed to artificially boost developer reputation scores within the tea protocol token reward system.
