Background
The tomi-rangginang65-tititugel package is part of the npm ecosystem and is associated with the tea.xyz token reward campaign. This package is designed to facilitate the automatic generation and publication of derivative packages, often with randomized names, which can inflate developer reputation scores for token rewards. However, it has been identified as containing malicious code that compromises the integrity of the npm registry.
Vulnerability Detail
The vulnerability originates from the package's malicious payload, which modifies the package.json file to remove private flags, alters version numbers, and generates random package names that are themed around Indonesian culture. This behavior leads to the continuous republishing of variants, polluting the npm registry and potentially affecting other developers and projects relying on npm packages. The malicious scripts included in the package (auto.js, autopublish.js, etc.) are designed to automate these actions, making it difficult for developers to notice the changes.
How To Fix
This package is malicious. Remove it and rotate any credentials it could have accessed.
npm uninstall tomi-rangginang65-tititugelIf it arrived as a transitive dependency, remove the package that pulled it in, then reinstall.
