Background
The slamet-poke60 package is part of the npm ecosystem, which is widely used for JavaScript package management. This package, like many others in the npm registry, is intended to facilitate the development and deployment of JavaScript applications. However, it has been identified as part of a malicious campaign that exploits the npm registry by flooding it with derivative packages that can harm developers' reputations and the integrity of the registry itself.
Vulnerability Detail
The vulnerability in slamet-poke60 originates from its association with the tea.xyz token reward campaign, which aims to inflate developer reputation scores through the automatic generation and publication of derivative packages. The malicious code modifies the package.json file to remove private flags, alters version numbers, and generates random package names, leading to pollution of the npm registry. This can result in security risks for developers who unknowingly use these compromised packages, potentially exposing their applications to further vulnerabilities.
How To Fix
This package is malicious. Remove it and rotate any credentials it could have accessed.
npm uninstall slamet-poke60If it arrived as a transitive dependency, remove the package that pulled it in, then reinstall.
