Description

The npm package tomi-ongol-ongol10-riris contains malicious code linked to a large-scale spam campaign associated with tea.xyz token rewards. It includes scripts that automatically generate and publish derivative packages with randomized Indonesian-themed names to manipulate developer reputation scores. The payload modifies package.json files to remove private flags and changes version numbers, enabling continuous republishing of variants to pollute the npm registry.

Impact

The malicious package enables automated mass publication of spam packages in the npm registry, which can degrade the quality and trustworthiness of the ecosystem. It manipulates developer reputation scores by generating numerous derivative packages, potentially misleading users and automated systems relying on reputation metrics. The continuous republishing of variants can cause registry pollution and complicate package management and security monitoring.

Defensive guidance

Users and organizations should avoid using the tomi-ongol-ongol10-riris package and any related packages from the tea.xyz token reward campaign. Registry maintainers and security teams should monitor and remove these spam packages from npm. No official vendor advisory or patch is available for this malicious package.

Summary

The tomi-ongol-ongol10-riris npm package is part of a spam campaign flooding the npm registry with over 15,000 packages in 2024 related to the tea.xyz token reward system. The malicious code 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 alter package.json by removing private flags and incrementing version numbers to bypass restrictions and continuously republish variants. This activity aims to inflate developer reputation scores fraudulently and pollutes the npm ecosystem with spam packages.
