Description
The npm package 'kiut-acog-efv' 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 names. These scripts modify package.json files to remove private flags and increment version numbers, enabling continuous republishing. The campaign aims to inflate developer reputation scores and pollute the npm registry with numerous variants, some with Indonesian-themed names.
