Description
The npm package citra-kue64-riris contains malicious code associated with the tea.xyz token reward campaign that flooded npm with over 15,000 spam packages in 2024. These packages include autopublish scripts that automatically generate and publish derivative packages with randomized names to inflate developer reputation scores for the tea protocol token rewards. The malicious payload modifies package.json files to remove private flags, alters version numbers, generates random Indonesian-themed package names, and continuously republishes variants to pollute the npm registry.
