Description

The npm package indah-pisang18-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 alter version numbers, enabling continuous republishing to inflate developer reputation scores and pollute the npm registry.

Impact

The malicious package can pollute the npm registry with numerous derivative packages, potentially degrading the quality and trustworthiness of the registry. It manipulates developer reputation scores by artificially inflating package publication metrics. While no direct exploitation or code execution impact is described, the campaign undermines the integrity of the npm ecosystem and may cause confusion or indirect harm to developers relying on the registry.

Defensive guidance

No specific patch or fix is available for this package as it is a malicious actor rather than a software vulnerability. Mitigation involves removing or blocking the affected package from use, monitoring for and removing derivative packages generated by this campaign, and relying on npm registry security measures to detect and prevent autopublishing abuse. Users should avoid installing packages associated with this campaign.

Summary

This threat involves the npm package indah-pisang18-sluey, which is associated with the tea.xyz token reward campaign. The package includes autopublish scripts (such as auto.js and autopublish.js variants) that automate the creation and publication of derivative packages with randomized names. These scripts modify package.json by removing private flags and changing version numbers, facilitating repeated republishing of variants. The objective is to manipulate developer reputation scores to gain tea protocol token rewards and to flood the npm registry with numerous malicious or spam packages.
