Description
The npm package gita-tahu72-sluey 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. The payload modifies package.json files to remove private flags and change version numbers, enabling continuous republishing of variants. This activity pollutes the npm registry and inflates developer reputation scores illegitimately.
