Description

The npm package erwin-nasipecel60-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. These scripts modify package.json files to remove private flags and change version numbers, enabling continuous republishing of variants. The intent is to inflate developer reputation scores within the tea protocol token ecosystem and pollute the npm registry.

Impact

The malicious payload enables continuous republishing of npm packages with randomized names and altered metadata, polluting the npm registry. This can degrade trust in the npm ecosystem and distort developer reputation scores tied to the tea protocol token rewards. There is no direct evidence of exploitation beyond registry pollution or compromise of end-user systems.

Defensive guidance

Users and organizations should avoid installing or depending on packages related to this campaign. Registry maintainers and security teams should monitor for and remove such autopublished malicious packages to maintain ecosystem integrity.

Summary

This threat involves the npm package erwin-nasipecel60-sukiwir, which is associated with the tea.xyz token reward campaign. The package includes autopublish scripts (such as auto.js and autopublish.js) that automate the creation and publication of derivative packages with randomized names. These scripts alter package.json by removing private flags and incrementing version numbers to facilitate repeated publication. This behavior aims to manipulate developer reputation metrics and flood the npm registry with numerous variants, constituting malicious activity that undermines the integrity of the package ecosystem.
