Description

The joni-donat11-sukiwir 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. The payload modifies package.json files to remove private flags, alters version numbers, and continuously republishes variants to pollute the npm registry and inflate developer reputation scores.

Impact

The malicious payload enables continuous republishing of npm packages with randomized names, which pollutes the npm registry and can mislead users and automated systems relying on package metadata. It artificially inflates developer reputation scores within the tea.xyz token reward system, potentially undermining trust in npm package authenticity and reputation metrics. There is no indication of direct exploitation or compromise beyond registry pollution and reputation manipulation.

Defensive guidance

Mitigation involves avoiding use or installation of the joni-donat11-sukiwir package and related variants. Registry maintainers and security teams should monitor for and remove such autopublished malicious packages to prevent ecosystem pollution. Users should verify package authenticity and avoid packages involved in token reward manipulation campaigns.

Summary

This threat involves the joni-donat11-sukiwir npm package, which is associated with the tea.xyz token reward campaign. The package includes autopublish scripts (e.g., auto.js, autopublish.js) 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 to enable repeated publication. The campaign's goal is to flood the npm registry with variants to artificially boost developer reputation scores for tea protocol token rewards, effectively polluting the npm ecosystem.
