Description

The npm package 'dewanto-ikan5-sluey' 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 to inflate developer reputation scores and pollute the npm registry.

Impact

The malicious payload enables continuous generation and publication of derivative npm packages, which can pollute the npm registry and distort developer reputation metrics within the tea.xyz token reward ecosystem. This manipulation undermines the integrity of the npm package ecosystem and the associated token reward system.

Defensive guidance

No specific patch or remediation is indicated. Users and maintainers should be aware of this malicious campaign and avoid using packages associated with tea.xyz token rewards that exhibit autopublish behavior. Monitoring for and removing such packages from projects and registries is advised.

Summary

This threat involves the 'dewanto-ikan5-sluey' npm package, which is associated with the tea.xyz token reward campaign. The package includes autopublish scripts (such as auto.js and autopublish3.js) that automate the creation and publication of derivative packages with randomized names. These scripts alter package.json by removing private flags and modifying version numbers, facilitating repeated republishing of variants. The campaign's goal is to manipulate developer reputation scores on the tea protocol by flooding the npm registry with numerous derivative packages.
