Description

The npm package fauzi-ketoprak69-riris contains malicious code linked to a large-scale token reward campaign called tea.xyz. This campaign flooded the npm registry with over 15,000 spam packages in 2024. The malicious code includes autopublish scripts that automatically generate and publish derivative packages with randomized Indonesian-themed names. These packages manipulate package metadata to remove private flags and alter version numbers, enabling continuous republishing to inflate developer reputation scores and exploit the tea protocol token rewards system.

Impact

This malicious package pollutes the npm registry with spam packages and manipulates developer reputation scores by artificially inflating package publication metrics. While it does not directly compromise systems, it undermines the integrity of the npm ecosystem and the trustworthiness of developer reputation metrics tied to the tea.xyz token reward campaign.

Defensive guidance

Users and maintainers should avoid installing or using the fauzi-ketoprak69-riris package and related derivative packages. Registry maintainers should consider removing these spam packages and monitoring for similar autopublish scripts to prevent further pollution of the npm ecosystem.

Summary

The fauzi-ketoprak69-riris npm package is part of a widespread 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 numerous derivative packages with randomized names. The malicious payload modifies package.json files by removing private flags and changing version numbers, facilitating repeated republishing. This behavior pollutes the npm registry and artificially inflates developer reputation scores to exploit the token reward mechanism.
