Description
The teate-thy-sonic-covret 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 numerous derivative packages with randomized names to artificially inflate developer reputation scores. The malicious code modifies package.json files to remove private flags, alter version numbers, and create Indonesian-themed or English package names, continuously republishing variants to pollute the npm registry.
