Description

The maya-soto24-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 and alters version numbers to continuously republish variants, polluting the npm registry and inflating developer reputation scores illegitimately.

Impact

The malicious package pollutes the npm registry with numerous derivative packages, potentially undermining the integrity of the npm ecosystem. It inflates developer reputation scores fraudulently, which could mislead users and automated systems relying on reputation metrics. There is no indication of direct exploitation or compromise of user systems beyond the registry pollution and reputation manipulation.

Defensive guidance

Users and maintainers should avoid installing or trusting packages associated with this campaign. Registry maintainers should consider removing these malicious packages and monitoring for similar autopublish scripts. Since this is a registry pollution and reputation manipulation threat, standard package vetting and reputation verification processes should be enforced.

Summary

This threat involves the npm package maya-soto24-sukiwir, which is associated with the tea.xyz token reward campaign. The package includes malicious 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 goal is to flood the npm registry with variants, artificially inflating developer reputation scores to gain token rewards under the tea protocol.
