Description
The npm package citra-telurtahu53-sluey was identified as containing malicious code as part of a large-scale spam campaign linked to tea.xyz token rewards. It includes autopublish scripts that automatically generate and publish derivative packages with randomized Indonesian-themed names. The malicious payload manipulates package.json files by removing private flags and altering version numbers, enabling continuous republishing of variants to pollute the npm registry and artificially inflate developer reputation scores.
