Description

The npm package fauzi-keripik13-riris contains malicious code linked to a large-scale spam campaign flooding the npm registry with over 15,000 packages. These packages include autopublish scripts that automatically generate and publish derivative packages with randomized Indonesian-themed names. The malicious payload manipulates package metadata to remove privacy flags and increment version numbers, enabling continuous republishing to inflate developer reputation scores for the tea.xyz token reward system.

Impact

The malicious package enables automated mass publication of derivative npm packages, which pollutes the npm registry and undermines the integrity of developer reputation systems tied to the tea.xyz token rewards. This can lead to trust erosion in the npm ecosystem and potentially expose users to malicious code embedded in these spam packages. There is no indication of direct exploitation beyond registry pollution and reputation manipulation.

Defensive guidance

Users and maintainers should avoid installing or depending on the fauzi-keripik13-riris package and related spam packages. Registry maintainers and npm administrators should continue to identify and remove such malicious packages and monitor for similar autopublish spam campaigns. Developers should verify package authenticity and provenance before use.

Summary

The fauzi-keripik13-riris npm package is part of the tea.xyz token reward campaign's spam operation that introduced over 15,000 malicious packages into the npm ecosystem in 2024. The malicious code includes autopublish scripts (e.g., auto.js, autopublish.js) that automate the creation and publication of derivative packages with randomized names. This process modifies package.json files by removing private flags and altering version numbers to bypass restrictions and continuously republish variants. The intent is to manipulate developer reputation scores to gain rewards from the tea protocol token system, thereby polluting the npm registry with spam and malicious content.
