Description

The npm package fadhil-menjes33-sukiwir 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 modify package.json files to remove private flags, change version numbers, and continuously republish variants to inflate developer reputation scores for token rewards. This activity pollutes the npm registry with spam and potentially deceptive packages.

Impact

The malicious package enables automated mass publication of derivative npm packages, which inflates developer reputation scores fraudulently and pollutes the npm package registry with spam. This can degrade trust in the npm ecosystem and potentially mislead developers relying on package metadata. There is no indication of direct exploitation or compromise beyond reputation inflation and registry pollution.

Defensive guidance

Users and organizations should avoid using the fadhil-menjes33-sukiwir package and other packages associated with the tea.xyz token reward campaign. Registry maintainers and npm administrators should consider removing these spam packages and monitoring for similar autopublish scripts. Developers should verify package authenticity and metadata before use.

Summary

The npm package fadhil-menjes33-sukiwir is part of a large-scale malicious campaign associated with tea.xyz token rewards. It contains autopublish scripts (auto.js, autopublish.js, autopublish2.js, autopublish3.js) that automate the creation and publication of derivative packages with randomized names. The malicious code modifies package.json by removing private flags and altering version numbers to enable continuous republishing. This behavior inflates developer reputation scores fraudulently and floods the npm registry with spam packages, degrading the ecosystem's integrity.
