Description

The npm package dewi-keripik12-breki contains malicious code linked to the tea.xyz token reward campaign that flooded npm with over 15,000 spam packages in 2024. The malicious payload includes autopublish scripts that automatically generate and publish derivative packages with randomized Indonesian-themed names. These scripts manipulate package.json files by removing private flags and altering version numbers to continuously republish variants, aiming to inflate developer reputation scores and pollute the npm registry.

Impact

The malicious package contributes to ecosystem pollution by flooding the npm registry with numerous spam packages, potentially undermining trust in package authenticity and integrity. It manipulates package metadata to bypass private flags and repeatedly publishes variants, which can distort developer reputation metrics related to the tea.xyz token reward system. There is no indication of direct exploitation or compromise of user systems from this package.

Defensive guidance

Users should avoid installing the dewi-keripik12-breki package and other related packages from the tea.xyz token reward campaign. Registry maintainers and security teams should monitor and remove such spam packages to preserve npm ecosystem integrity.

Summary

The dewi-keripik12-breki npm package is part of a large-scale malicious campaign associated with tea.xyz token rewards. It contains autopublish scripts (e.g., auto.js, autopublish.js) that automate the creation and publication of numerous derivative packages with randomized names. The malicious code modifies package.json by removing private flags and changing version numbers to enable continuous republishing. This activity inflates developer reputation scores and pollutes the npm ecosystem with spam packages.
