Description

The npm package 'teate-thy-sonic-ilahe' 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 artificially inflate developer reputation scores. The malicious payload modifies package metadata to remove private flags, alters version numbers, and continuously republishes variants with Indonesian-themed or English names, polluting the npm registry.

Impact

The malicious package pollutes the npm registry with numerous derivative packages, potentially misleading users and automated systems relying on package metadata. It artificially inflates developer reputation scores within the tea.xyz token reward ecosystem. While no direct exploitation or code execution impact is described, the registry pollution can degrade trust and complicate package management.

Defensive guidance

Mitigation involves avoiding use or installation of packages linked to this campaign, monitoring for suspicious autopublish scripts in npm packages, and removing affected packages from projects. Registry maintainers should consider removing these malicious variants to restore registry integrity.

Summary

This threat involves a malicious npm package associated with the tea.xyz token reward campaign. The package includes scripts (auto.js, autopublish.js, autopublish2.js, autopublish3.js) that automate the creation and publication of numerous derivative packages with randomized names. These actions aim to manipulate developer reputation scores by flooding the npm registry with variants. The payload modifies package.json files by removing private flags and changing version numbers, enabling continuous republishing of these variants, which results in registry pollution.
