Description

The npm package udin-kue87-pore contains malicious code associated with the tea.xyz token reward campaign that flooded the npm registry with over 15,000 spam packages in 2024. This package includes autopublish scripts that automatically generate and publish derivative packages with randomized Indonesian-themed names. The malicious payload modifies package.json files to remove private flags, alters version numbers, and continuously republishes variants to pollute the npm registry and inflate developer reputation scores for token rewards.

Impact

The malicious package pollutes the npm registry with numerous derivative packages, potentially degrading the quality and reliability of the registry. It manipulates package metadata to bypass privacy settings and repeatedly republishes variants, which can mislead users and automated systems relying on npm package data. This activity inflates developer reputation scores fraudulently within the tea protocol token reward campaign, undermining trust in the ecosystem.

Defensive guidance

Users and maintainers should avoid installing or using the udin-kue87-pore package and other related packages from the tea.xyz token reward campaign. Registry maintainers and security teams should monitor and remove such spam packages to maintain registry integrity.

Summary

The npm package udin-kue87-pore is part of a large-scale malicious campaign linked to tea.xyz token rewards. It contains autopublish scripts (auto.js, autopublish.js, autopublish2.js, autopublish3.js) that automate the creation and publication of derivative packages with randomized names. The malicious code modifies package.json by removing private flags and changing version numbers to enable continuous republishing. This behavior results in registry pollution and artificially inflates developer reputation scores within the tea protocol token reward system.
