Summary
Malicious code in wet_rat_replicate_automation (npm)
Details
Part of a self-republishing campaign: the package ships autopublish2.js, which in a loop gives the package a new random name, bumps its version, rewrites package.json and runs npm publish to publish the package again under the new name. Self-replicating publication is the propagation step of a registry worm and fills the registry with copies. Version examined: 2.3.1; tarball SHA-256 4e7250a12081880b7781ba4a3a0c912fa5347bbbcb3046b039c7459f284085de.
