Description

The putri-gado-gado38-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 changes version numbers, enabling continuous republishing of variants to pollute the npm registry and inflate developer reputation scores.

Impact

The malicious payload enables continuous generation and publication of npm packages that inflate developer reputation scores fraudulently. This activity pollutes the npm registry with numerous derivative packages, potentially undermining trust in the ecosystem and complicating package management and security for users. There is no indication of direct exploitation or compromise of end-user systems beyond registry pollution and reputation manipulation.

Defensive guidance

Users and maintainers should avoid installing or depending on the putri-gado-gado38-sukiwir package and related variants. Registry maintainers and security teams should monitor and remove such malicious packages to prevent ecosystem pollution. Since this is a malicious package rather than a vulnerability in software, remediation involves blocking or removing the package rather than patching.

Summary

This threat involves the putri-gado-gado38-sukiwir package on npm, which is associated with the tea.xyz token reward campaign. The package includes autopublish scripts (such as auto.js and 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, facilitating repeated republishing of variants. The intent is to manipulate developer reputation scores within the tea protocol token reward system and to flood the npm registry with malicious or spam packages.
