Description

The npm package dian-esdoger2-breki contains malicious code linked to the tea.xyz token reward campaign, which flooded npm with over 15,000 spam packages in 2024. The package includes autopublish scripts that automatically generate and publish derivative packages with randomized Indonesian-themed names. These scripts modify package.json files to remove private flags and increment version numbers, enabling continuous republishing to inflate developer reputation scores and pollute the npm registry.

Impact

This malicious package pollutes the npm registry with numerous spam packages, potentially misleading developers and automated systems relying on package metadata. It artificially inflates developer reputation scores within the tea protocol token reward system, undermining trust and the reliability of reputation metrics. While no direct exploitation or code execution beyond the autopublish behavior is described, the campaign degrades the npm ecosystem's quality and may cause indirect harm through dependency confusion or resource waste.

Defensive guidance

Users and maintainers should avoid installing or depending on dian-esdoger2-breki and related packages from the tea.xyz campaign. Registry maintainers should consider removing or blocking these spam packages to preserve ecosystem integrity. Monitoring package metadata for suspicious autopublish scripts and randomized naming patterns can help identify similar malicious packages.

Summary

The dian-esdoger2-breki npm package is part of a large-scale malicious campaign involving over 15,000 spam packages associated with tea.xyz token rewards. It contains autopublish scripts (such as auto.js and autopublish.js variants) that automate the creation and publication of derivative packages with randomized names. The malicious payload alters package.json by removing private flags and changing version numbers to facilitate repeated republishing. This behavior aims to manipulate developer reputation metrics and flood the npm registry with spam packages, degrading the ecosystem's integrity.
