Description

The ida-lepet45-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.json files to remove private flags and change version numbers, enabling continuous republishing of variants. The intent is to inflate developer reputation scores and pollute the npm registry with malicious or spam packages.

Impact

The malicious package can degrade the integrity of the npm ecosystem by flooding it with numerous derivative packages, potentially misleading users and automated systems that rely on package metadata. It manipulates package metadata to bypass restrictions and continuously republish variants, which can lead to reputation inflation for malicious actors and complicate dependency management for developers.

Defensive guidance

Mitigation involves avoiding use of the ida-lepet45-breki package and related variants. Users and organizations should audit dependencies for packages linked to the tea.xyz token reward campaign and remove or block suspicious packages exhibiting autopublish behavior. Monitoring package metadata for unauthorized changes can help detect similar threats.

Summary

This threat involves the ida-lepet45-breki package on npm, which is associated with the tea.xyz token reward campaign. The package includes autopublish scripts (such as auto.js and autopublish3.js) that automate the creation and publication of derivative packages with randomized names. These scripts alter package.json metadata by removing private flags and incrementing version numbers to facilitate repeated publication. The campaign's goal is to manipulate developer reputation scores by flooding the npm registry with numerous variants, thereby polluting the ecosystem.
