Description

The npm package dian-lengko60-riris contains malicious code linked to a large-scale token reward campaign that flooded npm with spam packages in 2024. The malicious payload includes scripts that automatically generate and publish derivative packages with randomized Indonesian-themed names. These scripts modify package.json files to remove private flags and alter version numbers, enabling continuous republishing of variants. This activity aims to inflate developer reputation scores for the tea protocol token rewards and pollutes the npm registry with spam packages.

Impact

This malicious package enables automated spamming of the npm registry by continuously publishing derivative packages, which can degrade the quality and trustworthiness of the npm ecosystem. It manipulates package metadata to bypass restrictions, potentially misleading users and automated systems that rely on package metadata for security and trust decisions. While no direct exploitation or system compromise is described, the pollution of the registry and reputation inflation can have indirect negative effects on the ecosystem.

Defensive guidance

Users and maintainers should avoid using the dian-lengko60-riris package and related derivative packages. Registry maintainers should consider removing these spam packages and enhancing detection mechanisms to prevent autopublish spam campaigns. Developers should verify package provenance and metadata before use.

Summary

The dian-lengko60-riris npm package is part of the tea.xyz token reward campaign that introduced over 15,000 spam packages into the npm ecosystem in 2024. The package contains autopublish scripts (e.g., auto.js, autopublish.js) that automate the generation and publication of derivative packages with randomized names. The malicious code modifies package.json files by removing private flags and changing version numbers to facilitate repeated republishing. This behavior artificially inflates developer reputation scores associated with the tea protocol token rewards and contributes to npm registry pollution.
