Description

The surya-gulai62-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 to continuously republish variants, polluting the npm registry.

Impact

The malicious payload enables continuous republishing of derivative packages, which pollutes the npm registry with numerous variants. This can degrade the quality and trustworthiness of the npm ecosystem and potentially mislead users or automated systems relying on package metadata. There is no indication of direct exploitation or compromise of systems beyond the registry pollution and reputation manipulation.

Defensive guidance

Users and maintainers should avoid installing or depending on packages associated with this campaign. Registry maintainers should consider removing or blocking these packages to prevent further pollution. Monitoring for and removing autopublish scripts in packages can help mitigate this threat.

Summary

This threat involves the surya-gulai62-sukiwir package on npm, which is associated with the tea.xyz token reward campaign. The package includes autopublish scripts (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 files by removing private flags and altering version numbers to enable repeated publication. The campaign's goal is to inflate developer reputation scores for tea protocol token rewards and to flood the npm registry with numerous variants, effectively polluting the ecosystem.
