Description

The npm package fajar-mieaceh36-riris contains malicious code linked to the tea.xyz token reward campaign that flooded npm with over 15,000 spam packages in 2024. These packages use autopublish scripts to automatically generate and publish derivative packages with randomized Indonesian-themed names. The malicious payload modifies package.json files to remove private flags, alters version numbers, and continuously republishes variants to pollute the npm registry.

Impact

This malicious package pollutes the npm registry by flooding it with numerous derivative packages, potentially undermining trust in the npm ecosystem and inflating developer reputation scores fraudulently. While no direct exploitation or code execution impact is described, the campaign degrades the quality and reliability of npm packages and may mislead users relying on reputation metrics.

Defensive guidance

Users and maintainers should avoid using the fajar-mieaceh36-riris package and related variants. Registry maintainers should consider removing these spam packages and monitoring for similar autopublish scripts. Since this is a registry pollution issue, remediation involves package removal and improved registry hygiene.

Summary

The fajar-mieaceh36-riris npm package is part of a large-scale malicious campaign associated with tea.xyz token rewards. It contains autopublish scripts (such as auto.js and autopublish.js) that automate the creation and publication of derivative packages with randomized names. The malicious code modifies package.json by removing private flags and changing version numbers to enable repeated publication of variants. This behavior inflates developer reputation scores illegitimately and pollutes the npm ecosystem with spam packages.
