Description

The npm package fauzi-papeda28-sukiwir contains malicious code linked to a large-scale spam campaign associated with the tea.xyz token reward system. It includes autopublish scripts that automatically generate and publish derivative packages with randomized Indonesian-themed names. The malicious payload manipulates package metadata to remove private flags and increment version numbers, enabling continuous republishing of variants. This activity pollutes the npm registry and inflates developer reputation scores within the tea protocol token ecosystem.

Impact

The malicious package pollutes the npm registry with spam packages, potentially degrading the quality and trustworthiness of the ecosystem. It manipulates package metadata to bypass restrictions and continuously republish variants, which can mislead reputation systems tied to the tea.xyz token reward campaign. There is no indication of direct exploitation or compromise of user systems beyond registry pollution and reputation inflation.

Defensive guidance

Users and maintainers should avoid installing or depending on the fauzi-papeda28-sukiwir package and related spam packages from the tea.xyz campaign. Registry maintainers should consider removing these spam packages and monitoring for similar autopublish scripts to prevent further pollution. No direct action is specified by a vendor advisory.

Summary

The fauzi-papeda28-sukiwir npm package is part of a widespread campaign flooding the npm registry with over 15,000 spam packages in 2024, tied to the tea.xyz token reward program. The package contains autopublish scripts (auto.js, autopublish.js, autopublish2.js, autopublish3.js) that automate the creation and publication of derivative packages with randomized Indonesian-themed names. The malicious code modifies package.json files by removing private flags and altering version numbers to enable repeated publication of variants. This behavior aims to manipulate developer reputation scores and pollute the npm ecosystem with spam packages.
