Description
The npm package vida-mangut7-apidev contains malicious code linked to the tea.xyz token reward campaign that flooded npm with over 15,000 spam packages in 2024. These packages include autopublish scripts that automatically generate and publish derivative packages with randomized names to inflate developer reputation scores for token rewards. The malicious payload modifies package.json files by removing private flags, changing version numbers, and generating random Indonesian-themed package names, continuously republishing variants to pollute the npm registry.
