Description
The npm package vida-empal2-sukiwir contains malicious code linked to the tea.xyz token reward campaign that flooded npm with over 15,000 spam packages in 2024. It includes autopublish scripts that automatically generate and publish derivative packages with randomized Indonesian-themed names. The payload modifies package.json files to remove private flags, changes version numbers, and continuously republishes variants to pollute the npm registry.
