Description

The npm package tiara-liwet88-sukiwir contains malicious code linked to a large-scale spam campaign flooding npm with over 15,000 packages in 2024. These packages include autopublish scripts that automatically generate and publish derivative packages with randomized Indonesian-themed names. The malicious payload manipulates package.json files by removing private flags, altering version numbers, and continuously republishing variants to inflate developer reputation scores for the tea.xyz token reward campaign. This activity pollutes the npm registry with spam and potentially deceptive packages.

Impact

The malicious package contributes to registry pollution by flooding npm with spam packages, which can degrade the quality and trustworthiness of the npm ecosystem. It manipulates package metadata to bypass restrictions and continuously republishes variants, potentially misleading developers and automated systems that rely on package reputation. No direct exploitation or compromise of user systems is indicated, but the campaign undermines the integrity of the package registry and developer reputation metrics.

Defensive guidance

No specific patch or remediation is indicated for this malicious package itself. Users and maintainers should avoid installing or depending on the tiara-liwet88-sukiwir package and related spam packages from the tea.xyz token reward campaign. Registry maintainers and security teams should continue monitoring and removing such spam packages to preserve ecosystem integrity.

Summary

The npm package tiara-liwet88-sukiwir is part of a widespread malicious campaign associated with the tea.xyz token reward system. It contains autopublish scripts (such as auto.js and autopublish3.js) that automate the creation and publication of numerous derivative packages with randomized names. The malicious code modifies package.json files to remove private flags and change version numbers, enabling continuous republishing of variants. This behavior is intended to inflate developer reputation scores fraudulently and pollute the npm ecosystem with spam packages.
