Description
The teate-thy-py-reswa npm package is part of a malicious campaign linked to the tea.xyz token reward system. It contains autopublish scripts that automatically generate and publish derivative packages with randomized names to inflate developer reputation scores. The malicious payload modifies package.json files to remove private flags, alters version numbers, and continuously republishes variants, polluting the npm registry with these packages.
