Description

The npm package okta-bakso9-sukiwir 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 changes version numbers to continuously republish variants, polluting the npm registry and inflating developer reputation scores.

Impact

The malicious payload causes pollution of the npm registry by continuously publishing derivative packages with randomized names. This can undermine the integrity of the npm ecosystem and distort developer reputation metrics. There is no indication of direct exploitation or compromise of user systems, but the manipulation of package metadata and flooding of the registry can affect supply chain trustworthiness.

Defensive guidance

Users and maintainers should avoid using or trusting packages associated with this campaign, including okta-bakso9-sukiwir and its variants. Registry maintainers should consider removing or blocking these malicious packages to prevent further pollution. Monitoring for packages exhibiting autopublish behavior and randomized naming patterns is recommended.

Summary

This threat involves the npm package okta-bakso9-sukiwir, 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 altering version numbers to enable repeated publication of variants. The goal is to flood the npm registry with these packages, artificially inflating developer reputation scores for the tea protocol token rewards. This activity results in registry pollution and potential trust issues within the npm ecosystem.
