The incident that flagged it

High

GitHub Advisory malware sweep - 2026-09-06/07 alphabetical E-range backfill: tea.xyz `eka-*` Indonesian-food autopublish flood (~100 pkgs), `eigenstate-*` tea.xyz self-replicating spam (~15 pkgs), z3n research-pattern `effective_/efficient_<animal>_z3n` spam (~35 pkgs), and misc E-prefix opportunistic drops

Yesterday's (Sept 6) sweep captured 13 npm items; the queue then flushed ~200 more, mostly published as of 2026-09-06 and continuing into 2026-09-07. Three coherent clusters (tea.xyz eka-<indonesian-food><N>-<suffix> autopublish, tea.xyz eigenstate-<astronomy>-<tech>-<lib> autopublish, and effective_/efficient_<animal>_z3n research spam) plus a long tail of misc E-prefix drops.

Versions named here: 0.0.0

What to do if you installed one of these

Treat the machine as compromised rather than simply upgrading. Packages in these incidents typically execute at install time, so the payload has already run with whatever credentials were in the environment.

  1. 1.Rotate every credential that machine or CI job could reach - registry tokens, cloud keys, SSH keys, CI secrets - from a different machine.
  2. 2.Pin to a version not listed above, then reinstall from a clean lockfile.
  3. 3.Clear caches and private mirrors. Artifactory, Nexus, Verdaccio, and devpi routinely keep serving a tarball after the public registry has pulled it.
  4. 4.Read the incident write-up above - recommended actions differ per incident, and some have specific indicators of compromise worth grepping your logs for.

Check your whole project

eka-empal64-breki is one of many packages in these incidents, and it is usually pulled in as a transitive dependency rather than one you installed directly. Paste your package-lock.json to check every dependency at once - it runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
