Description

The npm package 'eko-rangginang8-sukiwir' 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 changes version numbers to repeatedly republish variants, polluting the npm registry.

Impact

The malicious package pollutes the npm registry by continuously publishing numerous derivative packages with randomized names, which can degrade the quality and trustworthiness of the npm ecosystem. It manipulates package metadata to bypass privacy flags, enabling widespread propagation. While no direct exploitation or known active attacks are reported, this behavior undermines package repository integrity and may mislead users or automated systems relying on reputation metrics.

Defensive guidance

Users and maintainers should avoid installing or depending on packages related to the tea.xyz token reward campaign, including 'eko-rangginang8-sukiwir'. Registry maintainers should consider removing or blocking these autopublished variants to preserve ecosystem integrity.

Summary

This threat involves a malicious npm package associated with the tea.xyz token reward campaign. The package includes autopublish scripts (e.g., auto.js, autopublish.js) that automate the creation and publication of numerous derivative packages with randomized names. These scripts alter package.json by removing private flags and incrementing version numbers to enable continuous republishing. The intent is to inflate developer reputation scores for tea protocol token rewards and to flood the npm registry with these variants, thereby polluting the ecosystem.
