@akunsansan0/susu3 is a malicious npm package identified as part of a broader tea.xyz token reward campaign that flooded the npm registry. The package contains autopublish scripts (such as auto.js, autopublish.js, autopublish2.js, autopublish3.js) designed to automatically generate and republish derivative packages.
The malicious payload modifies package.json to remove private flags and changes version numbers. It generates random Indonesian-themed package names (with some English variants) and continuously republishes these variants to pollute the npm registry. The goal is to inflate developer reputation scores for tea protocol token rewards.
The package was identified by Amazon Inspector and credited to the OpenSSF's malicious-packages repository. This incident is part of a coordinated campaign involving multiple similar packages on npm.
