Description

The npm package 'putri-sate59-sluey' 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.

Impact

The malicious payload pollutes the npm registry by continuously publishing numerous derivative packages with randomized names. This can degrade the quality and trustworthiness of the npm ecosystem and may mislead developers relying on package metadata. There is no indication of direct exploitation or compromise of user systems beyond registry pollution. No known exploits in the wild have been reported.

Defensive guidance

Users and maintainers should avoid using or installing packages associated with the tea.xyz token reward campaign, including 'putri-sate59-sluey'. Registry maintainers should consider removing or blocking these autopublished packages to preserve ecosystem integrity. Monitoring for and removing packages exhibiting similar autopublish behavior is recommended.

Summary

This threat involves the 'putri-sate59-sluey' npm package, which is associated with the tea.xyz token reward campaign. The package includes autopublish scripts (such as auto.js, autopublish.js, autopublish2.js, autopublish3.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, enabling continuous republishing of variants. The objective is to inflate developer reputation scores for tea protocol token rewards and to flood the npm registry with malicious or spam packages.
