Description

The npm package hadianto-gado-gado73-breki 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 inflates developer reputation scores and pollutes the npm registry with malicious or spam packages.

Impact

The malicious payload enables continuous automatic publishing of derivative npm packages, which can degrade the integrity of the npm registry by flooding it with spam or malicious packages. It also manipulates developer reputation scores, potentially misleading users and automated systems that rely on these metrics. There is no direct evidence of exploitation in the wild or further compromise beyond registry pollution and reputation inflation.

Defensive guidance

Users and maintainers should avoid installing or trusting packages associated with this campaign. Registry maintainers should consider removing or blocking these packages to prevent further pollution. Monitoring for packages exhibiting similar autopublish behavior and randomized naming patterns is recommended.

Summary

This threat involves the npm package hadianto-gado-gado73-breki, which is associated with the tea.xyz token reward campaign. The package includes autopublish scripts (such as auto.js and autopublish.js) that automate the creation and publication of derivative packages with randomized names. The malicious code alters package.json by removing private flags and modifying version numbers to facilitate repeated republishing. The intent is to artificially inflate developer reputation scores for tea protocol token rewards and to flood the npm registry with numerous variants, thereby polluting the ecosystem.
