Description

The gita-dodol23-breki npm package is part of a malicious campaign linked to tea.xyz token rewards. It contains autopublish scripts that automatically generate and publish derivative packages with randomized Indonesian-themed names. These scripts modify 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 fraudulently.

Impact

This malicious package campaign pollutes the npm registry with numerous derivative packages, potentially misleading users and automated systems relying on package metadata. It inflates developer reputation scores fraudulently, which could undermine trust in the npm ecosystem. There is no indication of direct exploitation or compromise of user systems beyond registry pollution and reputation manipulation.

Defensive guidance

Users and maintainers should avoid installing or depending on packages linked to this campaign. Registry maintainers should consider removing these malicious packages and monitoring for similar autopublish script activity. Since this is a registry pollution and reputation manipulation campaign, standard package vetting and verification practices are recommended.

Summary

The gita-dodol23-breki package is associated with the tea.xyz token reward campaign that flooded the npm ecosystem with malicious packages. It employs autopublish scripts (e.g., auto.js, autopublish.js) to automate the creation and publication of derivative packages with randomized names. The malicious payload alters package.json files by removing private flags and changing version numbers, facilitating repeated republishing of variants. This behavior aims to manipulate developer reputation scores and pollute the npm registry with numerous fraudulent packages.
