Description

The npm package fitri-lodeh52-sluey contains malicious code linked to the tea.xyz token reward campaign that flooded the npm registry 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 and change version numbers, enabling continuous republishing of variants. This activity aims to inflate developer reputation scores for the tea protocol token rewards and pollutes the npm registry.

Impact

The malicious code enables automated generation and publication of numerous derivative npm packages, which pollutes the npm registry and artificially inflates developer reputation scores associated with the tea protocol token rewards. This undermines the integrity of the npm ecosystem and may mislead users relying on package reputation metrics. There is no indication of direct exploitation or compromise of user systems beyond registry pollution and reputation manipulation.

Defensive guidance

Users should avoid installing the fitri-lodeh52-sluey package and other related packages from the tea.xyz token reward campaign. Registry maintainers and npm administrators should consider removing these malicious packages and monitoring for similar autopublish spam campaigns. Developers should verify package provenance and avoid packages exhibiting suspicious autopublish behavior.

Summary

The package fitri-lodeh52-sluey was identified as containing malicious code as part of a large-scale campaign associated with tea.xyz token rewards. The campaign involves autopublish scripts (auto.js, autopublish.js, autopublish2.js, autopublish3.js) that automate the creation and publication of derivative npm packages with randomized names. The malicious code modifies package.json to remove private flags and alter version numbers, facilitating repeated republishing of variants. This behavior inflates developer reputation scores and contributes to npm registry pollution with spam packages.
